About the Chef
Chef Jacquelynn fell in love with Italian cuisine when she was 8 years old. It was the simplicity and love that went into each dish that grabbed her attention. She then went off to culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu & Scottsdale Community College. She also has traveled to Italy and lived there short term to cook with Italian chefs and locals to learn how to make fresh homemade pasta and other classic Italian dishes. By working closely with them, she has honed her skill and has developed an ever deeper love and respect for Italian food. She has also traveled to France where the history of the kitchen brigade system began. She worked for several catering companies in Arizona and became an executive chef at The Grand in no time. She then branched off into her own culinary endeavors by becoming a personal chef and caterer solely working for herself. She has been in countless magazines and names Arizona's Top 25 Personal Chefs 3 years in a row. She loves the one on one with her clients, customizing each event to their liking, creating an exciting and luxurious experience for all.
