I recall my dad watching Jeff Smith\u2019s \u201cThe Frugal Gourmet\u201d on PBS and the Food Network\u2019s \u201cEmeril Live\u201d. He didn\u2019t realize it but I was watching too. I like being educated, I liked being entertained even at an early age.<\/p>\n As a teen, I found myself in a home-economics class focused on foods and nutrition. I came to class early to flip through cookbooks, and before I knew it, I was making Baked Alaska and pan-seared chicken. I even prepared a marinated pork tenderloin for my sports team banquet. Lemon and rosemary still hold a special place in my food memories.<\/p>\n The artistry in food caught my attention in adolescence, and it has continued to enchant me ever since. I learned I enjoyed working with my hands and being creative, the challenge of developing a skill, and the sport of the kitchen.<\/p>\n My interest in sports and nutrition led me to earning a degree in Dietetics, but I still had aspirations of becoming a chef. However, after a few short months in fine dining (and reading \u201cKitchen Confidential\u201d by the late Anthony Bourdain) I had some unexpected revelations: 1) I hated working the night shift and 2) I did not want that sordid lifestyle.<\/p>\n Despite my dilemma I knew I wanted to do food but in a way that fit me, and I sensed an \u201centrepreneurial itch\u201d emerging. After several years of adding to my resume, which included working as a corporate chef, that time finally came. Changes in the executive suite had me reeling and feeling stagnant both personally and professionally. I began to look for a new opportunity. Actually, I created my own.<\/p>\n I ended up quitting that job without a new job secured. In doing so, I was forced to come to terms with risk, uncertainty, and my false sense of control.<\/p>\n In 2013, six months after my corporate departure, I started my personal chef business. A vague concept for many, but as a personal chef I did meal preparation for multiple clients in the privacy of their own home. I also leveraged my fine dining and catering skill set to provide intimate dinner parties and small events.<\/p>\n In 2017 I transitioned out of personal cheffing to inspire a new generation of cooks as a high school educator. Teaching teenagers has been quite an experience. It\u2019s been full of challenges, I\u2019ve added to my skill set, and I\u2019ve grown as a person. However, I realized I missed being my own boss, working as a chefpreneur, and building a business (and life) that I love. In the summer of 2021 I decided to relaunch my personal chef business with a renewed sense of passion and purpose and an emphasis on meal prep and dinner parties.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” admin_label=”Features” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ background_color=”#233540″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_direction=”170deg” background_color_gradient_stops=”#233541 47%|#72b4b5 100%” background_enable_image=”off” parallax=”on” custom_padding=”75px||75px||true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”75px||75px||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”50px||50px||true|false” saved_tabs=”all” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”27px|0px|27px|0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ text_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#ffffff” header_2_font_size=”60px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” text_orientation=”center” header_2_text_align_tablet=”center” header_2_text_align_phone=”center” header_2_text_align_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_2_font_size_tablet=”60px” header_2_font_size_phone=”44px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” header_font_size__hover=”30px” header_font_size__hover_enabled=”30px” header_letter_spacing__hover=”0px” header_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”0px” header_text_shadow_style__hover=”none” header_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=”none” header_text_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” width_tablet=”80%” width_phone=”80%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” max_width=”100%” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _dynamic_attributes=”link_option_url” _module_preset=”default” text_font=”MADE TOMMY Medium|||on|||||” text_font_size=”26px” link_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.35)” background_image=”https:\/\/chefkevinculinary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/60f1d33afb0e0b08c392cb56_jay-wennington-N_Y88TWmGwA-unsplash-p-1080.jpeg” background_blend=”overlay” text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”175px|35px|175px|35px|true|true” link_option_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjI1NiJ9fQ==@” border_width_all=”1px” border_color_all=”#777777″ global_colors_info=”{}” transform_styles__hover_enabled=”on|hover” transform_scale__hover_enabled=”on|hover” transform_translate__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_rotate__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_skew__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_origin__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_scale__hover=”105%|105%”]<\/p>\nOrigin Story<\/h2>\n
