Essential Chef
Why do I need a personal
chef?
How often do you swing by the
grocery store on your way home
from work to get a pre-cooked
roasted chicken, some green beans
you'll microwave in the plastic bag
they came in and maybe a
prepackaged salad and dressing? It
tastes ok and does the trick, but you
had to make a stop, they don't
always have what you want, you
feel like you should really think
about future meals and you have to
deal with the crowds. It would just
be nice if you didn't have to make
that stop.
As the Essential Chef, I will
roast the chicken for you, with less
fat. Or braise, stir-fry or grill it.
Include a wonderful, lowfat sauce to
go with it. I'll include freshly
roasted, steamed or gratineed
vegetables (or two), prepare a fresh
salad with a homemade dressing
and depending on your dieting habits
and the plan we put together, I'll
make a dessert. And the best part, it
will be there, at your home, ready
for you to eat. And of course it will
be scrumptious.
If you have kids, I will be happy to
plan your meals around healthy
foods that both you and your
children can enjoy.
You can order a personal chef plan
that best fits your needs.
I am a Los Angeles based chef
looking to create delicious and truly
healthy meals for you and your
family.

I'm Katherine Haynes and I want to be your Personal Chef. I've
enjoyed cooking and seeing people enjoy the food I prepare for a
long time. I started cooking in college when I wanted to be able to
eat the foods my parents made. My Mom liked to try new things,
but had her stand-by's that we liked as kids. My Dad loved to cook
and did spaghetti sauce and beef stews that my friends would want
to come to dinner for. My grandmother is an excellent cook, and
both of my grandmothers loved to have the entire family sitting
around the table for dinner. I think I gained my love of cooking
good food for others from them.
I moved to LA in 1991 after studying film and tv in college. I've
worked steadily on tv shows ever since. A big part of my job has
been hiring caterers and planning menus for staff and crew meals.
Although I liked doing it, I started to feel like I would rather be the
chef than just hiring them.
My sister moved in with me in 2001 when she was attending
graduate school. She always liked my cooking and was more than
happy to have me do it. I found I really liked coming up with a
meal plan and cooking just about every night. I felt like I was
learning something new constantly and had a challenge that I
wasn't finding in my tv production jobs. When my sister was done
with school, I decided I should go back to school. I went to culinary
school.
I attended and graduated from The New School of Cooking in
Culver City, CA. This course started with the French techniques
that make up the culinary backbone and progressed into other
techniques.
For all the years when I'd wake up in the morning thinking about a
great meal that I couldn't wait to recreate or after traveling abroad
and wanting to keep food memories alive, I couldn't be happier to
cook. Cooking fulfills my desire to be creative, explore new cultures
and help people live healthier lives.
