Introduction
I have been in the culinary industry for well over 25 years. Trained in South Africa and the USA. I have worked with many international and high profile clients and have had the pleasure of learning and preparing many different cuisines. I worked in 5-star game lodges in South Africa preparing sunrise breakfasts and sunset dinners. I am comfortable preparing simple weeknight dinners to high-end dinners and events. Catering to a client never feels like a job to me, rather a dream come true having the opportunity to do what I love! I take tremendous pride in what I do and prepare each and every meal to perfection. We eat with our eyes first, so food must not only taste good but also look good therefore attention to detail and presentation is key.

To say our experience was wonderful would be an understatement. We had never used a personal chef before so we didn't know where to start or what to expect. Chef helped guide us the whole way and her communication was prompt. We enjoyed our experience so much that we immediately booked a second night. There wasn't a bad thing on our plate. She is skilled at her craft. Our personal favorites were the coconut shrimp, lobster risotto, caprese parmesan cups, spicy tuna on crispy rice, and the chocolate mousse! We come to Ft Myers every year for our family vacation and we will be sure to use Chef Cheryl every year going forward!

Details: Regular meal • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I wanted to do something special for my wife for her 30th birthday party. I have never hired a personal chef to come to our home and cook for us before and thought it would be a great idea. I was right!! Chef Cheryl made the process very easy and had above and beyond communication through the whole process. The food was delicious and the only hard part was deciding what to eat from her many options. Our friends love the food and the chef and thought it was an awesome idea! We would highly recommend anyone looking for a personal chef to speak with Chef Cheryl!!! We have saved her information and will plan to reach out again soon!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • American - formal • Italian • Nut allergies • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
