Bowl and Arrow

Chef Jessica Knight is the owner, chef, and artist behind Bowl and Arrow, a Montana-based private chef and bespoke dessert company specializing in intimate, elevated dining experiences. Her work is driven by a deep love for seasonal ingredients, artistic presentation, and the joy of bringing people together around exceptional food. With a goal of bringing creativity and intention to every dish, Jessica creates experiences that feel both refined and deeply personal.

In addition to private dining, she designs custom wedding cakes and desserts that are more flavor-forward than overly sweet, with artistic designs inspired by Montana’s landscapes and natural textures—offering a creative extension of her chef-driven approach.

A Montana-born and raised chef, Jessica has been passionate about food since childhood. She honed her craft through an apprenticeship in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, before spending four years as the head chef at a fly-fishing lodge in Alaska. It was there that she met clients who later invited her to return to Montana as their personal chef. This opportunity that ultimately led to the founding of Bowl and Arrow. Now celebrating 10 years in business, Bowl and Arrow continues to serve clients throughout Bozeman, Big Sky, and beyond.

Jessica grew up in Harlowton, Montana, and that small-town sense of connection and community continues to shape the way she cooks and gathers. Her cuisine highlights the best of Montana’s locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, thoughtfully paired with exceptional products from around the world to create meals that are memorable, beautiful, and complex. Known for going the extra mile, she brings a strong dedication to communication, technique, and culinary innovation to every experience.

Whether designing a multi-course tasting menu or a custom wedding cake, Jessica approaches each creation with intention and artistry. Her work is rooted in the belief that food has the power to slow people down, foster connection, and create meaningful, lasting memories around the table.
