Chef Amanda Anderson

I believe that food is edible love, filled with joy and blessings. Whether it is a private intimate meal or a party for guests, I enjoy creating meals that leave a memorable impression and have a passion for attention to detail. I am a professional chef with over 15 years of fine dining and personal chef experience. I work well individually and in a group setting. It is of the utmost importance to make my client feel satisfied.

As a personal chef, I create menus based upon the clients needs and preferences. I take the time to plan and execute daily menus that exemplify variety and well rounded meals. I have extensive knowledge on special diets and dietary restrictions. I work diligently to ensure my clients get their needs met.

I love fresh quality ingredients and shopping for produce at the local farmers market. I draw inspiration for my menus with what is available and in season. I am constantly perfecting my technique and love to keep learning and educating myself in the culinary world because I have a strong desire to always make food better!

A list of my skills include, but are not limited to, grocery shopping, while keeping the pantry/kitchen well stocked and highly organized; Preparing special dietary needs (organic, gluten-free, diabetic, renal, dairy-free, vegan, vegetarian); Appropriately packaging and labeling prepared meals that are to be consumed at a later date; Providing clients with written and verbal instructions on how to heat meals.

I display a spirit of determination throughout all circumstances. I understand the demands of a busy household and am able to adapt and manage last minute changes. I anticipate my clients needs in advance, in order to keep systems moving smoothly. If there is a change in the number of guests or menu, I am flexible and willing to execute a menu as though it was already planned, all while keeping my composure and a calming presence.

I will thrive as your Personal Chef because I am well organized, efficient, and understand the needs of a private home. I will work with the family to ensure that each member has healthy, delicious and dietary appropriate meals to enjoy. Respect and Professionalism is of the upmost importance to me. I love to go above and beyond my clients expectations.
