About Chef Leigha

Cooking That Nourishes Body, Flavor & Joy

North Craft was born from a simple but powerful belief: that what you eat should nourish you completely — in body, in flavor, and in joy. Chef Leigha Cheney founded North Craft in Greenwich, CT to bring that belief directly into the kitchens and lives of the people she serves.

Leigha has built her career as both a dedicated private chef to individual families and a personal chef to many — learning firsthand that no two households eat the same way, and that truly exceptional cooking starts with truly listening. Her proficiency spans vegan, vegetarian, keto, paleo, Whole30, celiac, and FODMAP dietary protocols.

At North Craft, every dish is thoughtful. Every menu is personal. And every meal is an expression of the belief that a balanced diet and a vibrant, healthy lifestyle shouldn't be something you have to chase — it should be something you sit down and enjoy.
