Chef Jela Cahojova

Private Chef In Wyoming

Iam chef 10 years,

I lived in Portugal 3 years from where I have experience with fine dining Japanese restaurants and as a head chef in portuguesse restaurant. I worked as a chef in Prague, UK and Tenerife, Spain. So i have cooking experience with different culture and different kitchens. I like to cook with local and fresh ingredients. I approach every ingredient with respect and try to use as much as possible with minimal waste.

Beside cooking in your place, so you can enjoy comfort and amazing food in your house I create events, picnics, bbq and brunches in nature.

You can enjoy your meal while sunset, beautiful view on ocean or either right on the beach !

For me, cooking is...

Mother Nature is a real artist and our job as cooks is to let her shine

I learned to cook at...

Right in the kitchen !

A cooking secret...

Using fresh and local ingredients and try to have minimum waste

Jela was a phenomenal and kind chef who made exceptionally beautiful food! Will be a birthday memory my partner and I cherish forever! Highly recommend! Our airbnb didn’t even have an oven or stovetop and she was able to work around it and still cook the perfect dinner menu!

Chef Jela was absolutely fabulous!!!!! All the food was delicious, and we had a few guests with dietary requirements and Jela was more than happy to accommodate their needs. There was even some left over that my family was able to enjoy. I would love to have Jela to come and cook in our home regularly maybe when I win the lotto. Thanks again Jela you were amazing. The experience created a beautiful memory for us to cherish.

Jela was an amazing Chef . The meal we had was tasty , so well presented and prepared. Her organisational skills in the kitchen were outstanding. I would highly recommend Jela for anyone’s next function!

Great experience

Chef Jela communicated well ahead of our event and was accommodating of requests. She arrived on time and turned out an amazing meal. My guests we very very happy and we would definitely book again. 10/10

Jela was an amazing chef! She created a special surprise dinner for my Mum's 75th birthday dinner. Our fmaily (12 of us) loved every dish and ate everything (even the fussy eaters). The food presentation was immaculate and the taste was delicious. It felt like being in a five star restuarant. Jela created a special meal for a very special occasion. I would highly recommend her for any special meal. THANK YOU Jela!

We made a very late request for an extraordinary dinner. We are very happy that Jela contacted us and implemented our wishes in full. We wanted to have dinner outside with a view of the sea. Jela made this possible for us in a very short time. She chose a location for us, prepared everything and served us an excellent 4-course menu. She was very friendly and accommodating. It was incredible that she was able to organize all of this in such a short time. Thanks to her we had a perfect evening and can only recommend her to everyone.
