Introduction

Hello! I began my career in the Culinary industry by studying at Johnson and Wales University and attaining my Bachelors degree in Culinary Arts and Food Service Management in Miami, Florida. I quickly became an emerging Talent through Winning the 2015 San Pellegrino’s Almost Famous Chef Competition. Over the last several years I have had the opportunity of working with chefs from a Michelin Stared Restaurant in Germany, Walt Disney World and opening my own cafe in Australia! Since moving back to the states: I love displaying my creativity and knowledge from my world travels from Asia and Europe. With over 12 years of industry; I bring knowledge of different cultures and foods into my cooking to create menu items that are both original and nostalgic all at the same time. I am happy to accommodate any and all requests and occasion!

Destiny was a delight to work with from beginning to end. She responded immediately and was able to line up a call and event date with her same day. Food was delicious. Served banquet style with beautiful presentation. She was flexible with the timing of the evening as different guests arrived. And when everything was said and done, she left my kitchen cleaner than it was when she arrived. I know that’s not a part of the service, but it’s definitely a bonus. The girls and I loved her! Will be using her again or future events.

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • I'm flexible • Dessert • Italian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I recently hired Destiny to cook for a group of 20 friends for a milestone birthday. I read reviews and valued the great communication with Destiny right off the bat. This may seem weird, but when I requested a fish dish, and she told me she would serve what she could find “fresh and in season,” I knew she was the right choice. She did not disappoint. One guest said, they are “now a carrot person.” Another wanted to lick the serving dish of polenta and beef. My point is, Destiny far exceeded our expectations. I am so pleased that I trusted my gut and went with Destiny. She is a great cook and a doll!
