Personal Chef (in-person)

Service Description

Personal Meal Prep Chef 2-hour minimum · $450 I’ve been a professional chef since 2003. I earned my two-year Culinary Arts degree from Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, then trained under chefs Michael D’Orazio (The Palm DTLA), Chef Felix (Gozar WeHo), Top Chef Season 2 alum Betty Fraser and Denise DeCarlo (Grub Hollywood). Since then, I’ve cooked for private households, retreats, events, high-profile clients, dance communities, and fr-amilies of all kinds. I’m currently ServSafe Food Handler and Manager certified. I specialize in simple, wholesome, fresh staples you can mix and match throughout the week — like a mini buffet in your fridge! Consider this your permission slip to “play with your food” instead of eating the same meal every day 🎉 Unless you really want to :) And after seven years of feeding two little humans, I’ve learned that having yummy, familiar choices already waiting makes life a whole lot easier for all ages <3 HOW IT WORKS - THE EXPERIENCE After booking one of my three weekly appointments, we’ll have a 30-minute call or FaceTime about what you love to eat, what’s in your pantry, and what you want from your week. We’ll work with what you already enjoy and use. I’ll provide your grocery list and quantities. During our two hours, I’ll make approximately: 🍗 1 protein, prepared 2 ways 🍚 2 starches 🥦 1–2 vegetables ✨ A mix-and-match suggestion card You provide the groceries, pantry staples, cookware, appliances, dishes, and storage containers. I bring my knife, my Glammiest self, and any little extras I need <3 Please have everything out and the sink clear so I can get straight to creating delicious smells in your kitchen 👏🏾 When I’m done, I’ll clean my work areas, leave your hot food cooling safely, and skeedaddle. ✨ Most prepared foods keep refrigerated for 4–5 days, and many can be frozen. YOUR INNER PEACE = HEALTHY, HAPPY BODY Half the battle of nourishing yourself the way you want to is overrr 🫶🏾 Open the fridge, build whatever plate feels right, and enjoy knowing the hard part is done.
