Chef Lori Terry

Chef Lori Terry grew up in an Irish/Dutch family, where she learned at an early age that healthy eating was an essential part to a happy life. She began her career as a personal chef in 2003 shortly after visiting Paris and found herself weeping over her salmon in beurre blanc sauce. This unforgettable experience paired with her healthy eating habits unlocked her inner-chef.

For 16 years, Chef Lori has been cooking for private families and individuals in the Chicago area. She has had the pleasure to cook for such esteemed guests as: mayors, governors, ambassadors & presidential hopefuls. Chef Lori caters private dinner parties from 2-200. The last couple of years Lori's calendar has been filled with weddings, dinner parties, cooking classes, cooking competitions and writing her first cookbook.

Lori enjoys traveling all over Europe experiencing the many cultures, tastes and culinary styles. She often visits local street markets and learns international food traditions from local cooks. Most recently, Lori had the pleasure of cooking alongside chefs in Tuscany, Italy and Valencia, Spain.
