Personal Chefs in Santa Clarita, CA

Like many professionals, my love for the kitchen started very young and only grew stronger as I pursued my passion. I cook and bake with With Love! I started a business with my daughter’s and hope to empower them through passion and following their heart. I am available for cooking lessons, catering events, creating beautiful dessert tables, and making your events memorable and one of a kind!

With over 13 years of experience in award-winning kitchens—including a James Beard finalist restaurant—I bring a deep respect for seasonal ingredients, classic technique, and bold flavor. Whether you're looking for a cozy family dinner or a multi-course private event, I create memorable meals tailored to your tastes and dietary needs. My style is warm, rustic, and refined, drawing from my culinary roots in California and Argentina. I handle everything from planning to cleanup so you can relax and enjoy the experience at your own table.
