Chef At Home in Boynton Beach

I have worked in major hotels and resorts across the country as well as the Pride of America cruise line, the Viking Mississippi River ship, and yatching. I can cook a variety of cuisines and can tailor the menu to guest dietary needs. I would love to take on new clients, and I enjoy making people happy through food.

For me, cooking is...

What I love to do, food brings everyone together.

I learned to cook at...

I worked in various hotels and ships across the country.

A cooking secret...

Is to always stay calm and prepared.

Chef Kelsey did a great job making a delicious, tapas style meal for my husband’s birthday. She was responsive and organized, flexible in meeting our needs. And the food was outstanding! Best Risotto ever! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or hire her again.

Ms. Kelsey was incredible. The food was delicious and exactly as we had requested, and exactly as we had in mind. The plating and service were likewise excellent - even simple garlic bread was plated up and looked very nice. I highly recommend Ms. Kelsey and Take-a-Chef to anyone.
