Amazing Chef & she has an amazing team! They are super professional but also so much fun, we laughed the entire night. Definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had working with a personal chef in New Orleans. Can’t wait to have her back!

She and Grace brought such personality and enthusiasm to our private dinner party. She made the best scallops and mashed potatoes anyone ever had. I personally loved the lobster bruschetta and truffled ahi tuna. I highly suggest her and give her an A++++++.

A very attentive professional master chef! I enjoyed a beautiful cooking class for my birthday with amazing delicious plates!! She had a wonderful personality and a he even does cocktails so it’s a one stop shop for events. I’ve even repeated the dish to impress other family members! Will definitely hire again!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
That it varies depending on their needs and restrictions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Basically gathering every detail I can about what their preferences are and expectations, ultimately giving them a great experience on top of killer food!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve worked in restaurants for 19 years. Catered and staffed weddings, bat mitzvahs, corporate trainings and meal prep. Traditionally in my family we were all hands in so cooking was introduced to me very early which I feel was the ultimate training.
