About
I'm a professionally trained private chef with over four years of experience creating unforgettable dining experiences. I founded Mindful Kitchen to bring restaurant-quality meals into guests' homes through intimate dinners, celebrations, and hands-on cooking experiences. Before that, I worked my way up to Sous Chef at Orchard City Kitchen, a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant in California. Most recently, I earned my Culinary Arts Diploma from École Ducasse in Paris and completed a seasonal contract at Le Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel, where I trained in luxury dining, banquets, and Michelin-starred cuisine. My passion is creating seasonal menus and warm, welcoming experiences that bring people together around the table.

I hosted some friends for a girls' weekend and Makayla prepared dinner for 5 of us on Saturday evening. The food was absolutely delicious. The courses were spaced perfectly so we could laugh and talk and drink wine. Everything was plated beautifully. There was a lot of variety and everything was prepared perfectly. She even cleaned the kitchen before leaving. It was so relaxing and delicious, and her personality was so sweet. Everyone asked for her contact info before the night was over.

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 3 - 5 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - formal • French • Vegetarian or vegan • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Makayla arrived on time. Her setup and clean up were clean and orderly. She made us a juicy perfectly cooked medium rare ribeye served with roasted brussel sprouts, carrots and onions. Our experience with her was excellent and the food was amazing! We will definitely be scheduling her again soon and possibly keeping her on full time since my husband and I have busy schedules.

Makayla provided an incredible service, her food was absolutely delicious and was made with the highest quality. I throughly enjoyed the Mediterranean salad that she made, as well as the handmade hummus bowl. Overall a great experience, highly recommend!

Makayla crafted a meal that not only tasted delicious but was fit for my needs as a vegetarian. She took it upon herself to be creative and understand the things I enjoy in my meals. Great experience.
