About
With more than 25 years of culinary and hospitality experience, I bring creativity, professionalism, and the attention of a private chef to every event. My culinary journey has also given me the incredible opportunity to win Food Network’s Guy’s Grocery Games, be featured on The Cooking Channel, and appear in cooking segments on WFLA Tampa Bay.
I specialize in creating fresh, flavorful, thoughtfully prepared menus for private gatherings, corporate events, family celebrations, and catered occasions of all sizes. Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner or feeding 100+ guests, every menu is customized around your event, preferences, and budget.
What truly sets my service apart is the personal attention I give each client. I handle the details—from menu planning and preparation to presentation and service—so you can relax and enjoy your event.
I’m also ServSafe Manager Certified and committed to quality ingredients, food safety, reliability, generous hospitality, and exceptional service.
Great food should do more than feed your guests—it should be one of the things they remember most about your event

Actually, if given the choice I would give her 5 stars in all categories. She was prompt! Her food was exactly as ordered and very good. Her price was extremely competitive. She responded immediately to all my questions and was very easy to work with. When our expected number rose from 45 to 62 she didn't even blink. She was extremely professional and efficient. Definitely a 5 star performance for the Pelican Cove Social Club.

Absolutely outstanding experience! From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Communication was excellent, everything was handled exactly as promised, and you can tell she genuinely cares about making sure her customers are happy.
The food was fresh, delicious, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The quality was far beyond what I expected, especially for the price. Portions were generous and the overall value was excellent.
It's not often you find someone who combines great food, great service, reliability, and fair pricing all in one. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for quality food and dependable service. Definitely 5 stars and someone I would use again!

Chef Omayra did an amazing job cooking for our evening. We had a ladies night at my house and served hors d’oeuvres and dessert. Chef Omayra was very personable, professional, and well prepared for the evening. I will definitely be using her again!
