Happy National Personal Chef Day! We’re celebrating the talented chefs at The Heirloom Chef. They deserve all the recognition, so here are a few words of appreciation from Chef Erika.
Chef Gita: Beauty maker. A wise old soul in a young person. Having grown up on an island, she brings extensive experience with seafood, along with so much fascinating knowledge. She also creates a beautiful cheeseboard.
Chef MD: A burst of creative, fun energy. Her food is layered, textured, and every bit as impressive as her personality. You never know what hair color she’ll have! Not many people can boast that they’re an excellent chef and baker, but MD does it all.
Chef Gio: Both technical and fun, the head of his class, and his classmates and teachers still talk about him at the CIA. He has a warm, shining personality and epic cooking skills to match.
Chef Amey: Amazing experience. She’s worked with celebrities and in kitchens most of us could only dream of. Serious humor and delicious flavors. Growing up in Northern California means fresh and local is all she knows.
Chef Paula: Incredible precision and attention to detail. She brings epic flavor profiles and experience in restaurants and catering. She’s the team member that never hesitates to step up and take on big challenges.
Chef Toni: A relationship builder. Once clients have her as their chef, they stick with her. She also has a remarkable ability to work with our high-needs clients and highly specialized diets. She brings attention to detail and a loving presence.
Chef Gary: A hearty welcome to the newest member of our team! Humble, excited to grow, and a kind soul with an open mind and heart.
Chef Mara: A true team player, down for anything, and always ready to support those around her. A natural creator who’s been cooking her whole life.
