Chef Anna Jackson

Personal Chef in Stickney

I have been a professional chef for 6 years in and around the Chicago area. We did over 100 personal chefs and 200 catering since we started. We specialize in American, Italian, Hispanic, Asian, Mediterranean, Fusion, Southern, Smoked/BBq, Vegan, and Desserts. We can do it all! With no guest limit. We have pictures and reviews for all the work we have done. Inquired today!

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is life! I started cooking at 7 years old and never looked back.

I learned to cook at...

I learnd how to cook at home with my grandmother. My best friend's grandmother was Italian so she also had us in the kitchen making food from starch.

A cooking secret...

My secret is to never use just one recipe. Use multiple so you can create your own way of making food.

Chef Anna and her team were incredible! They treated us to an amazing dinner on our vacation with multiple families. The food was delicious and they made everything so easy!

Chef Anna and her team (including Chef Joshua) were terrific and the food was excellent. Would hire them again.

Chef Anna delivered an amazing meal for my party. The timing was perfect and all I had to worry about was having a great time instead of cooking and cleaning. Thank you Anna for making me look good and the party a huge success!
