About
Welcome to The Green Kitchen! We are a Phoenix-based private chef and catering company specializing in organic, whole-food cuisine inspired by my travels of the world’s Blue Zones and the Mediterranean regions of Italy and Spain. My cooking is rooted in simple, seasonal ingredients, high-quality proteins, edible flowers, fresh herbs, and scratch-made sauces- food that is both nourishing and deeply flavorful. Alongside my incredible team, we cater a wide range of events, including: • Intimate in-home dinners • Bachelor & bachelorette parties • Birthday & surprise parties • Baby & bridal showers • Brunches & holiday gatherings • Retreats & corporate events • Large-scale events up to 300 guests I learned to cook at the side of my Great Aunt Susan- a former Miss Arizona and personal chef to professional athletes in the 80s & 90s! That's where I fell in love with the art of nourishing people through beautiful, intentional food and creating shared experiences that unite us. That same care lives inside every menu we create. I’m highly detail-oriented, ingredient-driven, and committed to quality. We use organic, thoughtfully sourced ingredients and avoid seed oils, refined sugar, gums, soy, and unnecessary additives whenever possible. Whether you’re looking for a private chef experience, custom weekly meal prep, or full-service catering, my team and I would love to create something beautiful for your occasion!

We had a blast with Carly! We hired her for a bachelorette party and she prepared a full taco and elote bar for 10 people. She even brought molten lava chocolate cakes that were a HUGE hit! Everyone was talking about how delicious everything was for the rest of the trip and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a fun personal chef experience!
