Chef Mildred Moreno

Personal Chef In Long Beach

I started my chef business at the beginning of the pandemic. I have been working with the most amazing personal chefs around California absorbing their skills.

I am originally Mexican and my favorite dishes to cook contain seafood it reminds me of home, by the beach, I am the happiest when my clients taste my food and they complement it. it makes me think why I choose to cook for people it's a pleasure.

For me, cooking is...

It's an honor, it's a tradition. it's the love of your grandma that taught me to make certain family dishes and recipes. it's fun, I love cooking.

I learned to cook at...

around 15 I started cooking mocking my brother's recipes. Started become more curious bout techniques, flavors, textures and international cuisine.

A cooking secret...

love and passion, cooking as if I were cooking for my family. it never fails to cook with love. also having a positive outlook helps.

Mildred sets the standard. Attentive, friendly, delicious food; what an amazing experience! Thank you!!

Milly is an excellent chef who walked us through everything from the menu of the day, to educating us on the origins of the cuisine (which we asked because we are nerds about history) and how all of the ingredients go well together with the dish. The food was an absolute five star experience with wonderful flavor. Milly was observing and honoring dietary restrictions. She was a delight to chat with, and left the kitchen spotless. She was very punctual and accommodating. Her paella was delicious and we all fought over the crunchy edges of rice. The way she reverse cooked the ribeye was mind blow . She made this couscous dish which was so creamy it reminded me of cheesy grits. We were very pleased and look forward to hiring Chef Milly again!

Mili was awesome. She was super communicative and extremely nice. She was on time and cooked some great dishes for my work team trip. I would highly recommend - 5/5 stars!

Milly was a great chef, we had an incredible night of delicious food.

Millie was excellent!! Very communicative prior to the evening, punctual arrival, communicative but not overwhelming, and the food was delicious!! Would highly recommend

Milly was amazing! Super communicative, let me customize the menu with her. Showed up promptly on time. Asked us when we wanted to eat, every course was delicious! She made my Fiancé and I’s engagement dinner very special! I would highly recommend. 10/10

Milly did a fantastic job for us on our anniversary. The food was truly delicious and delightful, absolutely loved the lobster bisque and the filet was cooked perfectly. There was even leftovers for us to enjoy the next day. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

Millie is amazing!!!
