Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I have been cooking for private clients for over 10 years. I have a wide variety of cooking experience. BBQ Smoking and grilling, French and Italian take the forefront. I strive for good food made and presented really well. I am always practicing and tweaking to learn, and become, a better cook. I love to cook and I love meeting new people. I like the variety of catering for a one time event or weekly cooking for a client.

Anna was fantastic! My Brother hired her to cook food for me after I had surgery and she catered to my every taste pallet... her Tomato Soup had an elegant creamy texture and was spiced to a comfy perfection, a nicely roasted chicken accompanied the soup along with a delicious crunchy side of asparagus (which I couldn't get enough of). She even thru in some Christmas cookies to boot. Two days later, I found Enchiladas in the frig and they were absolutely to die for with a delicious red sauce. Later, she brought over Shrimp Scampi, steamed Articokes, Sloppy Joes and even went above and beyond the call of duty to get me some fresh fruit and cottage cheese. Not only is she a fantastic cook, but she took the time out to find out about me and my family and personalized the experience to make me feel cared for after a serious surgery over a holiday with no family around to help. I highly recommend her services to anyone and I am super grateful to my Brother for finding and choosing her on Thumbtack!!! Absolutely wonderful experience!

Anna with the great plate has prepared meals for my family and for special events for me for the past several years. The food has always been delicious and served warm. I would eat the wings she makes for every meal if I could! She is very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend her and her food.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Prices are based on food development, market pricing of ingredients and labor. I will work with your budget to customize your menu to your specifications.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I have worked in some of the best restaurants in Phoenix and in Philadelphia. I have learned from every chef I have been lucky enough to be associated with.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I come from a long line of really, truly great home chefs. That combined with working in some of the best restaurants on the east coast and in Phoenix. I have learned so much from everyone I have worked with. I kind of fell into cooking for others when someone who had lost his wife and couldn't cook, but didn't want to eat out all the time. So I started cooking for him in his home as well as drop off catering. When he developed diabetes, I researched recipes that he would enjoy and fit into the parameters of his dietary restrictions. One thing let to another and I had a handful of regular clients.
