About Cooking With Drea, LLC

I’ve been cooking professionally for over 15 years and catering for nearly a decade, with a simple focus: exceptional quality. As a personal chef, I carefully select every ingredient and never cut corners on preparation, flavor, or presentation. I’m a one-person business, so you’ll work directly with the chef from planning through cleanup. That means clear communication, consistent quality, and menus tailored to your tastes and needs. Some competitors may be cheaper, but I’m committed to taking every step needed to ensure your utmost satisfaction. If you’re looking for a personal chef who truly cares about the details, let’s talk about your next event or special dinner.

We had a delightful evening filled with delicious food! Everything was cooked to perfection. Chef Drea set a beautiful table, cooked a multi-course meal with appetizers and shared cooking tips with my guests. It was truly a magical evening.

OMG I can't recommend Chef Andrea enough!! Her food was so delicious and the whole dinner was honestly the highlight of my bachelorette trip. We got the braised short rib and it was one of the best meals I've had, 10/10 so worth it!!

Drea was absolutely amazing! On time, so professional and the food was phenomenal! By the end of the dinner, she was like a family friend who we wanted to get recipes and share stories with! We didn’t want to waste a bite to where we found ourselves heating up plates later at night until the early mornings! Thank you so much, Drea!

We had the absolute BEST experience with our private chef in Palm Springs! From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, thoughtful, and beyond communicative—every detail was handled seamlessly, which made the entire experience feel effortless on our end. And the food… truly next level. Every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and honestly some of the best meals we’ve had. You can tell how much care and talent goes into what she does. If you’re even considering booking a private chef, do it—and book her. We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation and can’t wait to work with her again!

Drea provided incredible service from start to finish. She was prompt to respond to my emails and text. She worked with me on designing a menu to fit everyone's allergies and dietary restrictions. She showed up early to prepare the brunch service and the final product was absolutely incredible. Would love to hire her again!

Chef Drea was absolutely incredible. She curated a beautiful Italian menu for our cooking class and handled every detail with so much care. She accommodated gluten‑free and dairy‑free needs seamlessly, had all the prep work done ahead of time, and somehow kept the entire experience fun, relaxed, and perfectly paced. The food was amazing, the class was engaging, and she left the kitchen spotless — like we hadn’t even cooked in it. She was one of the biggest highlights of our trip. I would book her again and again and recommend her to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.

Chef Drea exceeded all expectations! With three young kids, it’s not easy for my wife and me to enjoy a special night out, so for our anniversary I decided to bring the experience home by hiring Chef Drea. It was the best decision—her dishes were absolutely incredible, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. Even our kids couldn’t get enough! I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Drea to anyone looking for an exceptional chef for an intimate dinner, small gathering, or special event at home or in an Airbnb. Truly a memorable experience. Cheers!

We loved having Drea as our private chef when we were in Palm Springs for our girls trip! The meal she made for us was absolutely delicious!!! Steak, Brussell sprouts, potatoes au gratin, and a dessert. Presentation was also 10/10. We loved her set up and cleanup services! We cannot recommend her enough for your dining experience!
