Private Chef Amy Pollock

I am a professional home chef and caterer. I began cooking at age 11 because both of my parents worked two jobs. I served 8 years in the Army (IT) and spent over 20 years in the medical field caring for people. My love has always been to satisfy the palate of others. I cook food of various cultures from scratch, to include but not limited to; Southern, Caribbean, Italian, Latin, Classic American, North and West African. I believe food is to be enjoyed. Food brings people together for all occasions. I also believe “Food is Medicine” and consuming it as fresh as possible can sustain longer life and better health benefits.
