"We had the pleasure of hiring a personal chef for our anniversary dinner, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment Chef Kaylin arrived, her professionalism and passion for cooking were evident. She took the time to understand our preferences and dietary restrictions, ensuring every dish was not only delicious but also tailored to our tastes. The menu Chef Kaylin prepared was a delightful fusion of flavors, showcasing her culinary expertise and creativity. Each course was beautifully presented, and the attention to detail was exceptional. Every bite was a culinary delight, from the appetizers to the dessert. Aside from the incredible food, Chef Kaylin also brought a warm and friendly demeanor to the evening, making us feel comfortable and adding to the overall enjoyment of the experience. She was attentive to every detail, making sure the timing of each course was perfect and that we were completely satisfied throughout the meal. Overall, hiring Chef Kaylin for our anniversary dinner was one of the best decisions we made. It was a truly special and memorable evening, and we can't wait to have Chef Kaylin back for future celebrations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-notch culinary experience in the comfort of their own home."

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I aim to use the highest quality ingredients available, so the price of my services will reflect that. I believe all my clients deserve to taste the very best of the bounty that is the East Coast.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We begin by choosing our menu format. I offer a complimentary custom menu consultation via phone/videoconference/or we can meet in person where we get to know each other and personalize your menu. The second option is Chef’s Choice Menu where the magic is left to me and I write your menu based on my current inspiration and seasonality.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended Johnson and Wales University and studied Culinary Arts. I have completed Food Service Management ServSafe training.
