My Chef Megan Personal Chef Service -- About the Chef

ABOUT CHEF MEGAN

I know what it is like to come home in the evenings and have no idea what to eat for dinner, much less have the energy to prepare it. In addition to being a personal chef, I'm also an attorney licensed in both Texas and Louisiana! After three years of big firm practice I decided that I didn't want to spend the rest of my life practicing law, but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do.

During the year that I was looking for a career change, I started spending most of my free time cooking and baking for my friends and coworkers. I found cooking and baking much more enjoyable than reading statutes and regulations all day long. Before long my friends were asking me why I was wasting my time practicing law! I knew I had to find a way to use my love of food and cooking, and my personal chef business is giving me that.

I grew up in Baton Rouge with parents who were true "foodies." For as long as I can remember they have been members of a monthly gourmet group, and each month I looked forward to seeing (and tasting) the menu selections. I still remember the tastes of their Moroccan themed meal, as well as the time their mystery writer-themed dinner was featured in the food section of the local paper. My parents grew up in New Orleans, which allowed them to also know good food from an early age, and we were regularly treated to the family's Italian and French recipes, intermixed with the traditional Cajun and Creole dishes that no Louisianian can live without. I spent much of my time in the kitchen learning to make the dishes that I love. My great-grandfather owned a bakery in New Orleans, and I am convinced that this is where my love of baking comes from.

I want to share my love of food with those people who recognize the importance of a good home-cooked meal, but have other things to do besides plan meals, shop and cook.
