Book me for your event

Hi, I’m Chef Kimberly.
Kimberly Andrade

I’m a private traveling chef creating unforgettable, comfort-forward meals and events—anywhere in the US and the Caribbean.

I bring international comfort food to your home—crafted with care, travel-inspired flavor, and total discretion.

I’m a private traveling chef available for one-time events or short stays for you or groups up to 75 guests across the US and the Caribbean. I bring over 10 years of in-home service experience and more than 33 years of cooking experience, with professional culinary training from Johnson & Wales University and additional study in dietetics and psychology.

My cooking is shaped by a life of travel and living in the South, New England, Haiti, and between the Dominican Republic and the US. I love building menus around your vision—whether you crave Caribbean, Italian, Greek, Mexican, Southern, Soul Food, New England, Tex Mex, or fusion—and I’m trained to support special diets and allergy needs while leaving your kitchen sparkling when I’m done.

My secret ingredient is love—then comes the flavor. I also love getting nostalgic and cooking recipes the way your grandma used to make them.

I cook with heart, precision, and a traveler’s curiosity.

My cooking is therapeutic and flavor-driven

Cooking is therapeutic, healing, and exciting for me, and my travels inspire me to experiment with bold spices and different flavor profiles while still keeping every dish comforting and familiar.

I’m classically trained and constantly learning

I learned to cook at home and then professionally through Johnson & Wales University, building on that foundation with many varied experiences over the years. I’ve also worked as a chef educator, and I love giving back what I’ve learned.

I lead with love, nostalgia, and hospitality

Love is my first ingredient, and I build flavor from there. I also lean into nostalgia, recreating the dishes you grew up with so your table feels personal, warm, and unforgettable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 162.50 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Italian, Latin American and Chef's special. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering and Romantic night. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.
