Private Chef Kyle Billman

I have been cooking professionally for over 20 years. Food has long been a true passion. I grew up in the small country town in Oregon, picking vegetables from our garden and catching salmon with my father. Having spent the last 17 years living in Florida, southern cuisine has become a large part of my life. Restaurants I worked at include Michelin starred French fusion, classic French bistro and American style grills. Working with people from all over the world and being well traveled helped me perfect creativity in my menus.

For me, cooking is...

My life it has been a passion and a career learning new technique and flavors is always enjoyable to me.

I learned to cook at...

I attended le cordon bleu in Portland OR. To learn patisserie and my lifetime of experience working with amazing chefs.

A role model in the kitchen is...

My father who is never afraid to cook or eat new foods.

A cooking secret...

Using the freshest highest quality local ingredients that I can find mixed with fresh herbs and spices and proper cooking techniques.
