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!

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.
