Chef Kelly Self
Chef At Home in Dallas
Get to know me better
I approach every meal as a reflection of care, creativity, and respect for the ingredients and the people I serve.
As a private chef with a background in both Culinary Arts and Food Business from the Institute of Culinary Education, I specialize in creating refined, memorable dining experiences tailored to a discerning clientele. My culinary foundation combines the elegance of New York City’s food scene with the soulful warmth of my Mississippi roots, resulting in cuisine that is both elevated and deeply personal.
I provide more than just an exceptional meal. I offer a luxury service centered on discretion, hospitality, and intentionality. Whether designing a multi-course tasting for an intimate gathering or preparing chef-curated weekly meals for your home, every detail is crafted to meet your lifestyle with grace and excellence.
For me, food is not just nourishment; it's an experience of comfort, connection, and quiet luxury.
