Chef Sylvie Delenclos S.delenclos

Chef At Home In Hallandale Beach

In the early 2000’s, with a thirst to discover and learn the rich culture of French cuisine my culinary career began. After more than 9 years working as a chef in France, my husband and I decided to pursue a dream to open our first restaurant in Florida.

In April 2010, we opened our Cook 'in Paris restaurant in Pembroke Pines. We have for 4 years developed a French cuisine based on fresh products and full of flavor.

Now I'm home chef, whatever the occasion, I prepare your meals, your dinners, your buffets, your dining cocktails, your

special receptions (business meals, family gatherings, birthdays, weddings, christenings or anniversaries...)

I will come to you to discuss the menu and the concept of the meal. I can provide you with all extra services you may need, like shopping from the market, waiters/waitresses if required, tidying up and cleaning.

I offer different styles of dining according to your taste and your budget from finger food (a very much appreciated new concept), buffet and seated dining. You can choose between ordinary and gastronomic cuisine, it is up to you.

For me, cooking is...

I often say that cooking for me is above all a pleasure. we love cooking when we love people. We eat with our eyes as well as our mouth.

I learned to cook at...

I really started learning the professional cooking with a friend who owned the restaurant Le Ban des gourmands in Montpellier (France) in the 2000's.

A cooking secret...

Love of food and love of people inspire every product and experience that My Secret Kitchen brings to your home
