Chef Autumn Scott

Personal Chef In Dallas

I am the founder and owner of The Soul of American Cuisines, a traveling personal chef and catering company. Born and raised in South Carolina, I tasted the flavor of the typical American culture soul food and fell in love. I found my passion for cooking during the long, hot summers spent with my grandmother. I attended and graduated from Clemson University with a degree in Biological Sciences. After the passing of my grandmother, I took my pain and made it my motivation. 2020 was the year to elevate my passion to her business.The Soul of American Culture offers a luxurious experience in the comfort of your own home. Chef AC creates flavorful upscale food for the soul while providing exquisite customer service. You will taste the flavor of succulent, fresh, and quality meals and leave with unforgettable experience and everlasting memories.

For me, cooking is...

My passion and a stress reliever from the rest of the world. I embrace my creativity through my kitchen, my own science lab & art studio!

I learned to cook at...

My culinary experience is a reflection of my grandmother; a food connoisseur, caterer, and an excellent teacher in the kitchen.

A cooking secret...

My secret in the kitchen is my whirlwind of adventure, love, and fun.

It was my 7th anniversary and i was looking to make it extra special for my wife. I was nervous because i wanted it to be perfect. Chef Autumn was amazing! I left her in the apartment alone while my wife and I went to a game. But before that, she offered suggestions on how to surprise my wife, had music playing when we arrived, and really set the mood for us. Of course the food was delicious. We had her crab cake with surf and turf, and I would of lick the plate if I could. My wife loved it, I loved it. I highly recommend Chef Autumn, she's gonna be a star in the culinary world! Thanks again Chef!

Chef AC is amazing! Highly recommend. We truly enjoyed the experience. She went above and beyond to make it special for us.

She is incredibly talented!

Autumn prepared a lovely dinner for us. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal, mostly the part of not preparing it for ourselves :-). The chicken was super yummy and the peach cobbler dessert was a big hit. Thanks again!

The service was great! Very respectful! Very relatable, and great quality of food!

What an awesome Chef, she was professional, kind, considerate and definitely accommodating. Left us more than enough food for lunch. Book her asap.

Chef AC and Chef Duffy were great! They were punctual and super friendly. The food was great!

This was a fun experience and Chef AC took good care of us. The steak was extremely chewy but the way it was prepared and the seasonings were tasty. I would say for the price point I expected higher quality ingredients.

What an awesome Chef, she was professional, kind, considerate and definitely accommodating. Left us more than enough food for lunch. Book her asap.

AMAZING
