About
With over 15 years of professional chef experience, I specialize in creating unforgettable dining experiences for weddings, birthdays, corporate events, and more. I use only fresh, high-quality ingredients and my own custom seasoning blends to ensure every dish is packed with flavor. I’ve cooked for celebrity clients, hosted my own cooking show “Cooking with a Star,” and worked with major companies like Amazon, Green Sky, and Merchante Solutions. My events have taken me from Atlanta to the Caribbean, the Bahamas, and London — but whether local or international, my promise is the same: top-tier food, flawless service, and fair pricing. My passion is cultural cuisine — Cuban, Caribbean, Ethiopian, and Portuguese are specialties — but I also love working with clients to design custom menus that fit their taste and event vision perfectly. At the heart of it all, I believe food creates memories. Your guests will remember how they felt when they shared a meal together — and I take pride in making those moments special.

Kendra, was responsive, on time and oh yes, she delivered deliciously tasting food! On May 21, 2017 she catered our son's and his brides wedding. After the wedding we asked family members to critique the food; we had roasted chicken, plum meatballs, mashed potatoes and on request of my son, mac and cheese. Everyone unanimously said everything was delicious, they wouldn't change a thing. So, yes, we highly recommend Kendra, Cooking with A Star. She was also spot on with the signature cocktail drink! Cooking with a Star absolutely gets 5 stars from us. Dave and Caroline Colonna
