Introduction: I've been involved in the food and beverage industry for over 20 years, providing excellent hospitality and catering to my clients' needs. For the last eight years, I've worked as a professional chef catering events ranging from 12 to 450 people. I graduated in 2011, receiving the prestigious degree of Associate of Applied Science, A.A.S., in Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts Dallas and a Diplome in Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts from Le Cordon Bleu International. Cooking is my passion and it's what I take pride in to ensure my client is totally satisfied. I love using my hands and training to create food for a most memorable dining experience. Having the freedom to be creative with food is very exciting to me and I love the reaction I get from my clients.

We hired Chef Myra to help our kids (ages 5 and 7) bake a rainbow birthday cake as a fun birthday activity for my daughter who is an aspiring chef! Myra was wonderful. So easy to work with, the kids loved her, so patient and fun. I would definitely recommend her, the kids have already asked when she can come back!!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Case-by-case pricing because every project is different.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, we have a brief introductory phone call to discuss the type of service required. Second, we have a face-to-face meeting to discuss everything having to do with the event: menu options, set-up, amount of work required, cost and presentation. Third, I customize the menu and send to the client via email to see if anything needs to be modified. Last, I stay in touch up until the time of the event.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an Associates of Applied Science for Culinary Arts from Le Cordon Bleu of Dallas in 2011. My additional certifications include Human Resources Management and Supervision, ServeSafe Alcohol and Food and Controlling Foodservice Costs. I have also completed courses in Food and Beverage and Banquet Operations, Principles of Travel and Tourism, Effective Marketing Strategy, Nutritional Ecology and Cooking, Advanced Concepts in Nutrition and Food Product Knowledge.
