About
Hey yall. Left Las Vegas after 25 years. Time to start in Ohio!!!
I have been a professional chef for 25 years, 12 of which were on the Las Vegas Strip in Michelin Star rated restaurants. For the last 10 years I have been a personal chef, working with NBA and NFL clients on eating healthy and watching macros. I also work with families around town. I have a few regular clients I see every week, making dinners, family BBQs, holiday parties, birthday parties, kids and adult cooking classes, etc. I cook American, Mexican, French, Italian, anything that sounds good, but in a healthy version. You can find lots more pictures on my Instagram at Chefjenny81.
Thanks so much, looking forward to cooking for you.

I high recommend working with Chef Jenny! I hired Chef Jenny for a dinner at my home for 8 guests. From the very beginning, she was extremely responsive and worked with me to tailor a menu exactly what I was looking for. She even asked on grocery store and organic food preferences. She arrived on time and was a pleasure to talk with throughout the dinner.
The food needs a review of its own! It was delicious, flavorful, and presented flawlessly. I will definitely be working with Chef Jenny in the future!

Chef Jenny was amazing! We had 4 couples with different tastes and she was able to WOW the whole group. Even the one gluten free person, that’s me. It was so nice to sit back and enjoy our company, instead of cooking for everyone. She also cleaned up, which was awesome. We liked her so much, we asked her to come back the next night! First night was an Italian family feast and the second night was an amazing taco bar! Be prepared to have leftovers too! Chef Jenny is super friendly and easy to work with. She does all the shopping for the meal as well and also grabbed a case of Guinness for our guests lol. It was the first private chef for all of us, and we felt spoiled. I overheard some of our guests asking her to move to CA. I highly recommend Chef Jenny! If you have allergies, she can adjust for you. I’m pretty sure she can cook anything! Thanks again Chef Jenny for a memorable weekend without kids and without cooking (and cleaning)!!!
Details: Date night • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • American - formal • Gluten free or celiac • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

My mother in law bought us a cooking class with Chef Jenny for Christmas. She just came on Friday and we had an AMAZING time! She was super patient with our 14 year old and let her chop and create a new salad dressing. It was so YUMMY! She is loving being in the kitchen now. She brought EVERYTHING (and I mean everything including food, pans utensils) and cleaned while we cooked. She is an amazing teacher and chef. We cannot wait until we book our next class! She is the best of the best!
