Private Chef Dale Ashton Guest Guest

I am a professional chef with over three years in fine dining, and 7 in the culinary field. My specialties in cooking are in allergen friendly cooking, specifically gluten free & dairy free though I am well-versed in top 9 allergen free cooking. I also find my niche in dietary and health cooking for athletes and those seeking to better their health.

I graduated top of my class in culinary arts in 2025 at collin college, and have been working at a James Beard Nominated restaurant ever since. I have culinary competitions, private tasting menus, and catering under my belt and love menu development!

I define my style of cooking as bordering on experimental, powerful flavors, and very diverse when it comes to flavors/temperatures and textures. I love to cook all types of cuisine and don’t limit myself to just one, fusion is always a fun time for me!

In my time away from culinary, I am a signed model and actress. I enjoy painting and singing when I have free time. I am quite sociable and look forward to meeting any potential clients!
