Santa Barbara Personal Chef - Cindy Dollar

Introduction: Cindy Dollar is a resource for creative catering and exceptional chef-prepared meal delivery. She offers exquisite dessert tables including wedding and event cakes. Her boutique private chef services center around connecting her love of people with healthy, delicious food. Cindy’s love for cooking was fostered at a young age by her family’s influence. She took many trips to her Grandparents’ farm where she enjoyed picking and husking corn, making applesauce, and sampling her Grandma’s homemade treats. As she got older, her mother encouraged her to choose recipes, and then shop and cook for the family. Much of her learning in the kitchen came from trying new recipes, which she liked to share with family and friends. Cindy pursued her interest in cooking at George Brown College in Toronto, Ontario, Canada where she completed the Food and Beverage Management Program. After college she traveled to Santa Barbara, California where she fell in love with the local farmer’s markets and all the wonderful produce available year round. Cindy enjoys the challenge of satisfying all sorts of tastes and preferences. She loves to cook with fresh vegetables, herbs, quality meats and nutritious grains. She believes it is very important for friends and families to enjoy healthy, home cooked meals together.
