About S.KIM Chef·Weekly Meal Prep & Events·NYC Trained

Private Chef • Weekly Meal Prep Service • Intimate Events Private chef services for food lovers who'd rather be eating than cooking. Southern Californian born, NYC trained. I spent over 13 years in New York's most celebrated kitchens. I worked at Tabla under the late Floyd Cardoz and was on the opening team of Jean-Georges' ABC Kitchen under Chef Dan Kluger, the restaurant that won the 2011 James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant. I went on to become Director of Culinary Operations for the group behind Charlie Bird and Pasquale Jones, and I led culinary operations for an exclusive Oscar-night Armand de Brignac Gold Party year after year. For six years I was private chef to some of Manhattan's and the Hamptons' most discreet households, from intimate dinners in the city to live-in summers in Southampton. Today I bring that standard home, cooking for the people you love. Weekly Meal Prep Each week I compose a menu around your household. I source, cook, package and deliver it, or prepare it in your kitchen. Every dish is labeled with its own reheating guidance. Private Dinners Celebrations and dinner parties in your home, with a custom menu, seamless service and complete cleanup. Your kitchen is left exactly as I found it. All entrée fish comes direct from San Diego fishermen. La Jolla · Del Mar · Solana Beach · Rancho Santa Fe · Encinitas · Carlsbad · Oceanside Share your occasion, date, guest count and what matters most to you, and I'll design your memorable evening and menu around it.

Sandra is a wonderful chef and a lovely person. She is extremely comfortable in a strange kitchen and navigated the MOST spectacular and memorable evening for my family and friends. We will be using her skills and talents again and she already feels like a friend.

We had the pleasure of having Sandra prepare our 40th anniversary dinner. We had our children and grandchildren, they all raved about the quality and flavors of the food. Her exceptional knowledge of ingredients was amazing. She used fresh ingredients and prepared them elegantly. We give Sandra 5 stars.

Wow I am so glad I found Sandra. I needed meal prep for a busy week and she came through on short notice. The food was excellent and the portions were generous. She accommodated my dietary restrictions/preferences and still made food way more delicious than anything I could have made.
