About
I'm an experienced personal chef having traveled around the world to hone my culinary skills. I spent two years in SE Asia focusing on cuisines from that region. I currently reside in the SF Bay Area and cater to private households in the East Bay. My clients have ranged from high-profile to university professors, and the Deans of Medicine at one of the country's top ivy league universities, to the everyday person looking to make their lives that little bit easier with a few meals prepped per week. I cater to every dietary need. From celiac to diabetes, vegan, vegetarian, to meat lovers; my dishes are highly personalized and customized. My services are most appreciated by people who don't have time to cook healthy meals for themselves, or simply don't enjoy cooking. My meals are healthy and customized to your needs. For some, it's a monthly treat. For others, it's a weekly necessity. I prepare all meals in a fully licensed and state and county regulated commercial kitchen and bring the cooked meals to you in sealed containers for you to serve when needed. All ready-to-eat meals are good between 4-7 days when refrigerated or two-three months when frozen. I take great pride in my work. I prefer using locally grown and raised ingredients, and I cater to the dietary requirements and needs of my clients. My passion for cooking comes from my love of flavors, creativity, and presentation. I was raised in the UK. British cuisine has been described as unfussy dishes made with quality local ingredients, matched with simple sauces to accentuate flavor, rather than disguise it. My philosophy on food is partly based on these principles. The concept of my cooking is premium ingredients meets restaurant-style quality. I love taking folks on a food adventure so if you're open to trying new dishes and my take on classic dishes, with a healthier twist, then they'll enjoy the ease of reheating and plating fully cooked and prepared meals for you and your family. I include sides and garnish elements which allows you to create art on your plate while enjoying bold and full flavors. You're able to style your plate in a similar fashion to a server bringing you your meals at a restaurant.

Debbie is a highly experienced chef that is eager to meet her clients needs. She was very attentive to my dietary needs. Very quick to respond to emails/texts and was flexible with scheduling when I had a unforeseen conflict (thanks!). She arrived promptly the day we agreed on, prepared a delicious meal and left the kitchen clean. Highly recommend and will hire again!

I've had the pleasure of having Debbie cook for my husband and I in our home and highly recommend her as a personal chef. Debbie's cooking is light, healthy and deeply flavorful. She cooks with fresh herbs and vegetables -- easily tailoring a meal to my preferences and what we have available in our pantry. She is meticulous in the kitchen and in the presentation. The final plate looks as fantastic as it tastes.

Hi Purnima - thank you for taking the time to write a review. I’m glad I was available to accommodate your party as it was a true pleasure to prep Indian fusion appetizers for your gathering. Your crowd seemed to enjoy the different options. As an independent chef, I have never worn formal chef attire and had no idea you desired the chef you were searching for to wear a specific uniform. Thanks again for choosing me to help with your event.

Okay! You know how you try something for the first time and you don't have a high expectation because, well, you are just cynical. Boy! was I pleased and impressed. The food is amazing, variety and complex yet interesting flavors. Debbie really love her WORK and it shows. I used her services while recovering from a surgery. I'm so glad I did. I think I am a much healthier and happier person because of the many great meals I have enjoyed!!! Highly recommend 😍
