Chef Kyndra's Specialties

Reviews

Highly recommend Chef Kyndra!

Chef Kyndra was great from the moment the reservation was made. She kept in contact through email and phone and was responsive to all my inquiries.

When Chef Kyndra arrived, it was immediately clear that she was a true professional and master of her craft. In addition, she was just an overall nice person and very willing to “chat it up in the kitchen” with my wife and share her chef experiences which have taken her around the world.

She was seamless in the way she moved about and cooked in our kitchen while simultaneously conversing with us, which translated into a very nice and relaxed atmosphere.

Oh, I must add that the food Chef Kyndra prepared was exquisite by both taste and the detailed artistic presentation she created. She made sure everything was perfect!!

The BEST!

We have an annual dinner party every year for our guests and we were tired of using the same caterer.

After asking around, Bill Handel recommended Chef Kyndra to us, as she is also his personal Chef. We threw a dinner party for 50 people and Executive Chef/ Owner Kyndra created a custom 4 course meal for us all, from scratch & our guests are STILL raving about how phenomenal the food was!!!!!!! For dinner, she cooked Braised Beef Short Ribs with Caramelized Onions, Truffle Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans. The Braised Beef Short Ribs were the BEST I’ve EVER had!!!!!! We are already planning our next event with her!!!!!!!!

Amazing!

I have been to MANY events that have been catered by Kyndra, and her food is usually my favorite part. No joke I will sometimes attend an event just because I know she will be catering! (don’t judge! lol)

I also went to her Valentines day Underground supper events, and man! Worth every penny. I cannot say enough about how amazing her food is. Her style is just as great, and she is just a wonderfully humble. woman!

About

Chef Kyndra

I have been a professional chef for 14 years but I have been cooking for over 20. I am a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu and worked at the Sunset Tower Hotel and The Beverly Hills Hotel. I have worked with Big City Chefs (as see on on Private Chef’s of Beverly Hills) as a private chef for over 10 years as well as have owned a catering company for 14 years and opened a restaurant 3 years ago which was recently featured on the Emmy Nominated Hit Show, Insecure!

I have traveled to over 14 countries and love incorporating my experiences through my cuisine. Over the years I have cooked for countless celebrities, catered hundreds of weddings, corporate office events and private dinners. Private dinners are my favorite because of the intimate setting and the ability to pay attention to detail. A fun fact about me is that I was a contestant on the hit Food Network show CHOPPED! so needless to so say, I can handle pressure pretty well!

I have been passionate about cooking since I was young and watched my grandma cook, and I decided to make it my career of choice. I would love to be chosen as your chef for your event!

Our Top FAQs

1. Can I customize the menu?

Absolutely! All our menus are fully a la carte. Once you’ve decided on a chef, you’ll see a list of all the dishes they offer and you can choose the ones you’d like for your event.

2. How is your service priced?

You pay a fixed price per guest based on your menu, plus a small, all-inclusive booking fee to our platform. You’ll be able to see exactly what you’re paying when you make a booking. No hidden costs, ever.

3. How many guests can I invite?

As many as you like! Although for events with over 30 people, we ask that you reach out to us to make an event inquiry.

4. My group has multiple dietary restrictions

That’s absolutely fine! When finalizing your menu, please mention these under ‘Special Instructions.’ For instance, you can specify that you’d like to accommodate one vegan guest and one gluten-free guest for your at-home catering and your private chef will prepare suitable dish variants for those guests.

5. Can I make changes to the menu or guest list?

Yes! You can make any changes to your booking. You can even cancel it up to a week before your event, and you’ll receive a refund.

6. Is my event insured?

Yes, it is. Our service includes full insurance for your private chef in case of any mishaps.

7. How are the Chefs chosen?

Each chef is fully vetted. We require at minimum one year of sous chef experience. Your chef has gone through an FCRA compliant background check and multiple interviews before joining our platform.

8. What is FFKs cancellation and refund policy?

We take pre-payment to secure your chef and simplify our service. No fumbling with payments after your event or dealing with multiple payments in different stages of the process. Much like our service, our return policy is simple and meant to protect you, our hosts and our amazing Chefs.
  • One week or more before your event we guarantee your refund.
  • During the week of your event we offer a 50% refund.
  • We will not be able to refund within 48 hours of your event. At this point your chef has not been available for other parties and has already planned for your event. *Please note all refunds are less processing and booking fees
