About Anna’s Kitchen and Chef Jennifer
http://www.annaskitchenpcs.com/
About 15 years ago, I sat down with my best friend and designed a business plan where we could cater to families and do small dinner parties where the feeling would be one of family. Small and intimate is what we were going for. We wanted to provide it all - from shopping to cooking to cleanup.
Anna’s Kitchen Personal Chef Service is the result of that business plan.
As busy as we all are, people don’t have the time to prepare regular family meals or entertain as much as they’d like to. That’s where Anna’s Kitchen Personal Chef Service can help. The name for the business belongs to my daughter who inspires me to carry out my dream. The kitchen is the center of our family and of our home. I want to share that philosophy with everyone I have the pleasure of cooking for.
I knew from an early age that cooking was to be my calling. Influenced by family, cooking was something that was done together and meals were a time to share one another’s company and reflect on the day.
My classical training served me well as I expanded my knowledge base at the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel in Orlando Florida in the pastry department. Working under a Master Pastry Chef I was able to gain first hand knowledge of wedding cake design, building memorable cakes for would-be brides and grooms. I took some time away from the culinary world to begin a family and gain knowledge of the business world. Cooking however always remained my passion. While still working a 9-5 office job I began to moonlight as a caterer for friends and family as favors. I even arranged to provide cooking lessons at a local church so I could keep doing what I love to do.
Family has brought me to the Louisa area where I am enjoying life in a rural setting. It is not without the love and support of family that I would be able to make this journey that is Anna’s Kitchen. Every experience in life is a stepping stone that leads us toward our ultimate goal. Anna’s kitchen could not be what it is without those experiences and enables me to bring it all to the chopping block, saute pan and pastry tray. I look forward to getting to know your family as we design your family’s meals together. Anna’s Kitchen is the newest member at the family dinner table.
