Chef Kaylin made my birthday dinner celebration unforgettable for my friends and I! From suggesting a creative, locally sourced multi-course menu for various palettes, and the beautiful presentations of each course, to the delicious flavors of each bite, she definitely surpassed our expectations! We would hire her again for a future vacation in Virginia Beach.

My family had the pleasure of having Kaylin prepare a dinner for us on Memorial Day. We were on vacation and wanted a special dinner. Kaylin was very responsive when I reached out on Thumtack and within hours she was booked. I loved that she was so thorough and knowledgeable and made the discussion easy to choose a menu. She also took into account food allergies and preferences. Kaylin comes well prepared with all supplies (if needed) and was so personable. My family truly enjoyed her company and are hoping for another opportunity to hire her again! Thanks Kaylin!!!!!
Details: Regular meal • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • Nut allergies • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Kaylin was absolutely amazing. This was our first time ever having a private chef and she made it the most memorable dining experience we’ve had. We booked her for our 8 year anniversary and I couldn’t be more happy. Her personality alone is lovely, and she went above and beyond to make the meal special and the experience. I would recommend her a million times over!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I aim to use the highest quality ingredients available, so the price of my services will reflect that. I believe all my clients deserve to taste the very best of the bounty that is the East Coast.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We begin by choosing our menu format.
I offer a complimentary custom menu consultation via phone/videoconference/or we can meet in person where we get to know each other and personalize your menu.
The second option is Chef’s Choice Menu where the magic is left to me and I write your menu based on my current inspiration and seasonality.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended Johnson and Wales University and studied Culinary Arts.
I have completed Food Service Management ServSafe training.
