Introduction: My secret ingredient is the same in everything I prepare! I make sure that there's love in every bite! I thoroughly enjoy preparing delicious food, and it's evident in all my work. Before working as a chef, I was a nurse for several years. With experience as both, I am very aware that the things we eat play a major role in our general health and well-being. Knowing this, I truly make it my mission to create not just tasty food, but also fresh and healthy food.

Char provided excellent catering service for our adult day care. She was instrumental in helping us prepare a well balanced menu that was nutritional and yummy! The lunch meals arrived fresh and always appealing.

Charlene catered our wedding with an all vegan menu. She did a fabulous job with everything from appetizers to the main course. The appetizers were displayed beautifully and were full of flavor. Some of our guests even argued over whether the chick'n was real or not! Others asked for recipes. Definitely all signs of great food. Thank you for making our wedding tasty and memorable.

Hired on Thumbtack

Charlene puts love into her meals and into her customers lives. I hired her to cook meals for my daughter who is a new mom and a working mom. It was the greatest gift ever. Charlene made meals with love and delivered them with care. My daughter is thrilled with the taste, the service, and Charlene's amazing gift of caring about her customers. No one can go wrong by hiring this chef. We cannot say enough good things about this personal chef service. Charlene took into consideration all of my daughter's request about lactose. May her business grow and be rewarded as deserved!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is individual and I am very reasonable.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to provide my clients the opportunity to give their input and as much of their feedback as possible. I like to do an initial phone or sit-down interview, talk about what the client is looking for, what the client likes, doesn't like etc, and then go from there. This is also when I find out if there are any allergies or specific dietary restrictions. Whenever possible, I try to create samples for my clients to taste ahead of time, if planning for a later event. Lastly, after working with my clients, I like to follow-up with them to ensure that they enjoyed the food, enjoyed the service, and that their needs were met.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In 2012, I graduated from Atlantic College's Culinary program, located in South Florida. I currently hold a certificate for Culinary Arts and Commercial Foods. I also have my ServSafe certification and my Safe Food Handler's certification. In May of 2018, I graduated from Houston Community College, where I earned my Associates of Science degree in Culinary Arts. HCC is accredited by the American Culinary Federation (ACF). I am currently enrolled at Johnson & Wales University, pursuing my Bachelors degree in Culinary Arts & Food Service Management.
