Chef Jennifer Beach

Private Chef In Phoenix

Born and raised on the East Coast- Italian inspired cuisine has always been the foundation of my craft. I have 15 years of experience out in the field, with a very strong background in catering and events. I have been working as a private chef since 2014; taking all that I'd learned from working in esteemed venues around the country and the world. I have been fortunate enough to travel with my career, to countries such as Italy and Australia; ultimately landing a spot in one of New York City's Michelin restaurants before setting out on my own. At the start of my private chef career, I specialized in plant-based cuisine and holistic nutrition, focusing on individualized diet plans for dietary ailments.

Since then, I have gone on to expand my business to incorporate private dining experiences, cooking classes, catering; and speciality services such as Retreats, team building workshops, wellness workshops and a line of food service products. I offer a variety of services that incorporate more whimsical themes (Harry Potter, LOTR) mindful & holistic workshops that focus on intuitive eating and low waste cooking; and hyper local workshops where we learn about and enjoy the local produce that grows in the Sonoran Desert.

When I'm not working, which is not often, I like to hike and camp with my German Shepard, forage, and work in my wood shop.

For me, cooking is...

An expression of all that I am and where I have been. It's joy and connection; sharing and tradition.

I learned to cook at...

Johnson and Wales University where I attained my BA in Sustainability & Food Service Management.

A cooking secret...

Always think of ways to revitalize and repurpose the things that normally get overlooked. That is where the magic is!
