Chef Katelynn Tonguis

I am a dedicated and passionate private chef with over two years of experience in menu planning, meal preparation, and recipe development, as well as a rich background across various roles in the service industry. My career began in hospitality, where I held positions ranging from server to bartender, and eventually took on leadership roles as a head server and assistant bar manager. This broad exposure gave me a deep understanding of customer service, teamwork, and the fast-paced demands of the culinary world, all of which have shaped my commitment to my craft.

Today, as a private chef, I draw on that foundation to deliver personalized, health-conscious meals that prioritize wellness and sustainability. I work closely with clients to craft unique menus, taking their dietary needs and preferences into account, while also incorporating fresh, local ingredients. Whether I’m catering for large events or preparing intimate meals, I bring the same level of care and creativity to ensure each dish is as beautiful as it is flavorful.

My time in the kitchen has also included experience as a garde manger and prep cook, where I honed my knife skills, mastered food safety regulations, and developed an eye for detail in food presentation. From casual dining to fine dining, I’ve learned to adapt quickly and efficiently, always ensuring that the quality of my food and service meets the highest standards.

With a strong background in hospitality and a passion for culinary excellence, I am deeply committed to the service industry as a whole. Every role I’ve taken has contributed to my growth as a chef and reinforced my dedication to creating exceptional dining experiences.
