Introduction
Hi there - I’m Chef Amber Marie, and I’m looking forward to working with you. Please call or email me directly - I have my calendar blocked off on this platform to avoid the automatic charging of up to $50 everytime someone puts out an inquiry whether they are serious about booking or not (at this point I have a theory that at least some of the leads the pros all get charged for are generated by this site itself, and regardless this gets very expensive for us very quickly.) 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! ***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. ***If you are interested in learning to cook or take better care of yourself from a nutritional standpoint, I have both the education and personal experience to help. Do you need a realistic plan for eating better - tailored to your actual eating patterns? Do you think that healthy eating takes too much time or isn't in your budget? Do you know what you want/need to do but lack the "will power" to follow through - or the culinary skills to make the experience enjoyable for yourself and your family? How it works: You tell me how you (and whoever else wants to participate) eat and what issues you would like addressed - from going raw/vegan/vegetarian to affording organic produce to cooking for individuals with health concerns, food allergies (i.e. gluten, soy, etc.), or eating disorders - and we develop a class tailored especially to your needs which might include basic nutritional information, grocery shopping tips, demonstrations on proper cooking techniques and how to use unfamiliar ingredients, referrals to helpful professionals or local businesses, and/or question and answer discussions aimed at addressing your specific roadblocks to getting and staying well. I love that I am able to serve the greater good while simultaneously pursuing my creative passion. It's much more fun than practicing law!

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!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Dessert • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • Southern • Mexican / Latin American • Vegetarian or vegan • Dairy intolerant • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

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.

Details: Regular meal • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • American - formal • American - casual • Italian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
