Who am I?

My name is Kelsey, I am a private chef, food photographer and blogger based in Steamboat Springs, CO. My career as a chef spans 22 years and includes cooking in San Francisco, Marin, Denver, Vail, and Steamboat Springs.

I earned a degree in culinary arts from the California Culinary Academy, and spent the early years of my career working in fine dining and upscale restaurants.

My desire to have closer and more meaningful interactions with the people I was cooking for led me into the private chef world. Offering comfort in the form of food, as well as the belief that every person (no matter the dietary restrictions) deserves a delicious meal, fuels my work. I look forward to bringing a bit of comfort and happiness to your next gathering.

I strive to create individualized dining experience that is both refined yet unexpected for my clients to enjoy with their guests. Constantly evolving and changing, my cuisine is inspired by many cultures and focused on complimentary flavors. I strive to offer the best of locally sourced, seasonal produce of Colorado, with great emphasis on the pleasure of sharing good, clean food.

My Goal

Why hire me?

Every detail is taken care of when you hire me. From the start, I will work with you to cater the evenings’ menu to your specific desires. Next, I do all the shopping, cooking, and cleaning while you sit back and enjoy the company of your guests.
