Private Chef Moira Hatfield

My name is Chef Moira. I am a professional Chef from San Diego, I have been cooking for 15 years. I have always had a passion for cooking since I was young. Im always creating different dishes for guests. I am knowledgable in multiple worldly cuisines including unique produce and styles of techniques. I am organized and detail oriented in my work.

For me, cooking is...

is what brings us together and inspires happiness.

I learned to cook at...

San Diego Culinary Institute; but also growing up I learned from my mother and grandmother.

A cooking secret...

always making sure the dishes have bold and thoughtful flavors. (and staying calm under pressure)
