Chef Kiara Alfred

Private Chef In Houston

I am a professional chef from the Chicagoland area with 10 plus years under my belt. I love to cook southern/ Modern American food but, I’m very diverse in all areas. I love the look on my clients face when they take the first bite. That is my motivation for it all. To take an ordinary moment and make it spectacular.

For me, cooking is...

A way of life. Everything starts and ends with food. Food builds relationships and connections that would never take place.

I learned to cook at...

I first learned to cook from my grandmother. I would always help out in the kitchen. I then went and got professional trained to do what I love.

A cooking secret...

The ultimate secret is love and patience.
