About
I’ve been cooking professionally for over 15 years and catering for nearly a decade, with a simple focus: exceptional quality. As a personal chef, I carefully select every ingredient and never cut corners on preparation, flavor, or presentation.
I’m a one-person business, so you’ll work directly with the chef from planning through cleanup. That means clear communication, consistent quality, and menus tailored to your tastes and needs.
Some competitors may be cheaper, but I’m committed to taking every step needed to ensure your utmost satisfaction. If you’re looking for a personal chef who truly cares about the details, let’s talk about your next event or special dinner.

OMG I can't recommend Chef Andrea enough!! Her food was so delicious and the whole dinner was honestly the highlight of my bachelorette trip. We got the braised short rib and it was one of the best meals I've had, 10/10 so worth it!!

Drea was absolutely amazing! On time, so professional and the food was phenomenal! By the end of the dinner, she was like a family friend who we wanted to get recipes and share stories with! We didn’t want to waste a bite to where we found ourselves heating up plates later at night until the early mornings! Thank you so much, Drea!

Drea provided incredible service from start to finish. She was prompt to respond to my emails and text. She worked with me on designing a menu to fit everyone's allergies and dietary restrictions. She showed up early to prepare the brunch service and the final product was absolutely incredible. Would love to hire her again!

We had the absolute BEST experience with our private chef in Palm Springs! From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, thoughtful, and beyond communicative—every detail was handled seamlessly, which made the entire experience feel effortless on our end.
And the food… truly next level. Every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and honestly some of the best meals we’ve had. You can tell how much care and talent goes into what she does.
If you’re even considering booking a private chef, do it—and book her. We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation and can’t wait to work with her again!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing varies by the size of the event, menu choices, and location. Please contact me for pricing.
Private cooking classes start at $100 per student. They will be held in your home or vacation rental.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We will schedule a call to chat about what you're looking for with your event, I'll write a menu proposal with options for you to choose from and you'll make a deposit to secure your date.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked in restaurants since I was a child. I've learned a lot and now I pass that knowledge on to my students. I did go to culinary school and I've worked in 4 diamond hotels and fine dining restaurants.
