Introduction

Hi there - I’m Chef Amber, and I’m looking forward to working with you. Please call or email me directly if you’re unsure of your budget or have a date in mind that is blocked off on this platform. Also please note each professional does get charged when you put out a request - sometimes up to $30 or more each time - so please consider that if you aren’t serious about booking. I am a private chef and nutrition educator. I hold a Culinary Arts degree from Johnson & Wales, an Education degree from NYU, and a Law degree/license. I have worked for many families (including high profile and celebrity clients) and institutions over the past couple of decades, but I also love doing one off special events (calling all bachelorette parties). I have studied nutrition and international cuisine extensively, and I enjoy the challenge of creating new menus which cater to unique individual needs and tastes. I am an ACF Certified Culinarian as well as a certified Food Safety Manager, Dining Room Associate, Wine Steward, and ServSafe Alcohol Responsible Alcohol Server. If you require help with special diets or nutrition, especially for ongoing service, please read onward: I have experience with every special diet imaginable - personally and professionally - vegan/vegetarian (plant-based), pescatarian, gluten free, paleo, keto, kosher, low fat, low sodium, nut free, soy free, sugar free, etc. If you are interested in having me cook for you, my goal is to have your food look and taste great while adhering to whatever dietary parameters. Regardless of preferences based around food allergies, overall health and beauty, or religious/ethical beliefs, I believe strongly in facilitating environmentally- and socially-conscious change by purchasing local, sustainable, and non-GMO or organic whenever practicable. As a result of my healthy diet's revolutionary impact on my own physical and mental wellbeing, I am also available to provide suggestions and encouragement to anybody struggling to make similar changes because I know it’s not easy.

My experience with Amber as a private chef was absolutely phenomenal. She was extremely responsive and came up with great ideas for an Asian-inspired menu for my sister’s bachelorette party at our family home in Palmetto Bluff. We were a large group of 15 and Amber executed everything perfectly. She arrived two hours in advance to set up and prepare and had everything ready by the time we wanted. She was professional and friendly and was seamless in the kitchen. Ok now onto the food: it was INCREDIBLE!! All of the girls were raving about it and it truly was delicious. As the planner of the bachelorette party, she made me look great! I am still eating the leftovers and wish I had more! I really was blown away with everything and also enjoyed talking with Amber about her background and nutrition. She is extremely knowledgeable and honestly just a delight to have a conversation with. Thank you for everything Amber, not only did you make feeding 15 women easy but you went above and beyond to make it unforgettable!

Amber was excellent! She made a wonderful Italian dinner (apps, salad, main course, dessert) for 13 people. It was all delicious and presented perfectly. She was really punctual and responded quickly to my questions when preparing for the event. Would highly recommend!

A group of 14 friends from Atlanta hired Amber as a personal chef for one night in Hilton Head. Would rate her a perfect 10 out of 10. Super responsive in the planning stages. Showed up exactly when she said she would and had a wonderful menu that was so delicious. Apps, Salad, Entree and Dessert all on point. Perfect portions. Left everything tidy. Had a great evening.
