Chef Hannah Johnson

Private Chef In Honolulu

As a personal chef living on the beautiful island of Oahu, my goal is to blend traditional training with aloha hospitality. Cooking has been a passion from a young age, but it’s been my profession for 9 years now. I'm here to help my clients build lasting memories through customized dining experiences.

For me, cooking is...

An art and a means to bring people together. Everyone needs to eat, so why not make it the best experience possible!

I learned to cook at...

Home first. I found myself helping in the kitchen quite often. Eventually, my passion for food led me to pursue culinary as a career.

A cooking secret...

Is staying organized and focusing on technique, the rest comes naturally.

Chef Hannah's reviews

This was an amazing experience for a business meeting dinner where we could be comfortable and enjoy a nice dinner at home. Chef Hannah was so wonderful! She was punctual, all of her food (3 courses) were amazing and her personality was sweet and kind. She brought stellar ingredients, explained all her food selections, was very attentive throughout the dining experience and cleaned up everything!!! It was nice to have a chef come in instead of going out to dinner or cooking at home (as we were able to continue working). I would recommend this to anyone!!!
