About
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 is wonderful! Some last minute changes for a surprise Graduation Party made her services a must! She responded quickly to my requests, was very creative in our request for "elevated College Kid foods" and arrived prepared and on time. She handled all the catering so I could actually enjoy the party and guests, and her creations received RAVE reviews! I highly recommend Anna and will be using her again!

Had a great experience! We had a wonderful meal prepared for our dinner party, which was so little effort on our part. Which was a huge plus since I am pregnant. Arrived on time food instructions were very clear and everything was great. Holy cow the goat cheese dip and the chocolate cake were to die for!!

We had a great 87th birthday party for my mother-in-law in out rental home in Scottsdale with Anna as our personal chef. She was very easy to communicate with, arrived exactly on time, her dinner was fabulous and she didn't stress out when the ovens were not working properly. Anna stayed extra time since the dinner took longer to cook and she was a great sport. I highly recommend her.

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.
