Chef Caitlin Suarez

Private Chef In Seattle

I started cooking in restaurants in Seattle, WA in 2007. I take pride in making my customers feel special and fulfilled. My strength in hospitality comes from three things, passion, team and the ability to adapt in a fast paced environment. Personal preferences and the needs of my customers are where I thrive. I believe- if you want it, we can make it happen.

I am a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. Since completing my degree, I have lived in the Napa Valley. I have worked for BottleRock, Pestoni Family winery, Treasury Wine Estates and more. I started my own small catering company, Coga Enterprises which handles both catering, event operation and consulting.

For me, cooking is...

Therapeutic, extension of myself and a way to show great care to the people around you.

I learned to cook at...

I am a Culinary Institute of America alumni. But I learned from my family the true cooking.

A cooking secret...

Attention to details and treat cooking like a ballet. One motion after the other.

Would 100% hire Caitlyn again for our next event.

Caitlin was fantastic! We hired her for a backyard dinner party for my wife's birthday and she did not disappoint. She came early to set up the table and got right to work. The food was amazing and everyone at the party was asking us for her information. I think the highlight may have been her homemade gnocchi, but I know my wife is still dreaming of the butter she used on the steaks. I would love to hire her again, and would highly recommend her!

Caitlin created a wonderful event for us !

Chef Caitlin Suarez was absolutely amazing in both the menu options and working through choices with me through to the day of the event and her ability to provide our guests with amazing canapes and service. She worked with me through some last minute issues that always seem to pop up and was the epitome of grace and calm during the event. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Every aspect of this service was delightful. The depth of flavor was exceptional, and the authenticity sublime. From the canapes and the lotus soup to the gai yang chicken and mala beef, each dish contained nostalgic flavors of old family recipes delivered with the expertise of a top class chef. I would highly recommend this chef for anyone who appreciates food.

Honestly she’s the best chef ever So sweet, cleaned up after herself Fast, efficient. And the food was AMAZING!!! Highly reccomend

Caitlin was so awesome! We loved her company, food, and care. Thank you for making my hubbys birthday more special!

We had an amazing night, featuring a 4 course dinner. Our chef was incredibly nice, professional, and provided an excellent meal. She messaged back very quickly and tailored the menu to anything I wanted. Overall would 1000% do it again, and recommend this chef.

Caitlin prepared an anniversary dinner for us at our home, the experience was wonderful. From speaking with her to selecting the menu, to her effortlessly finding her way around the kitchen, to everything she set up, she is an excellent communicator, so thoughtful and generally great to work with. The food was a combination of things I’d requested and things she made up and they were all excellent. It was a surprise for my husband and we both loved the experience. Thank you Caitlin!

WOW! Chef Caitlin truely knocked it out of the park. We had an all day event for my company hosting food and beverage experts from out of state and they we also blown away with the Caitlin and her work. She made 13+ dishes all from a small yacht kitchen - wow! She also accomodated some dietary restrictions with ease and pace out of food perfectly to match the activities of the day. Thank you Caitlin!!!

This was our first time using Take a Chef, or any private chef service, and Chef Caitlin really set the bar high! She was easy to communicate with leading up to the event, and was so wonderful to coordinate with and plan the perfect meal. She was very accommodating and provided everything we needed in advance to make the day of event run seamlessly. Chef Caitlin was extremely attentive during the service, was happy to answer all of our questions, and was so helpful for the kids that we had at dinner, making sure they were equally taken care of. Her knowledge of food and wine went such a long way in preparing the perfect meal for us. This was a great option for our family since going out to eat with kids is hard, so instead we were able to have a lovely, high end meal in the comfort of our home. She left our kitchen better than she found it and was so helpful. We hope to work with her again in the future! 5 stars for Chef Caitlin

WOW! This was my first time with this service and Caitlyn helped me with every step! Loved every moment and am so thankful for this great experience! Thank you Caitlyn!

Amazing and should be an annual event

Wow, just wow! Caitlin Suarez is amazing all around. Thank you so so much for the wonderful 5 course meal. This made my BF’s birthday so special. I can’t wait to book again!

I am SO happy with take a chef! I have been looking for something like this for years and Caitlin was an absolute dream

Chef Caitlin was incredible! She served us an absolutely delicious and unique dinner that we couldn't believe we had at home. The food was so flavorful, delicious, and interesting, and the food presentation was also really beautiful. Caitlin was also a lovely person, the perfect balance of telling us about the dishes and chatting when we asked her about dishes, etc., and giving us space and privacy to enjoy our evening. She also left our kitchen cleaner than it was when she started! We will absolutely hire Caitlin again and I've already recommended her to friends!
