About Your Personal Chef

My name is Nicole. I've been a MN local all my life, graduating from the Culinary Arts program at Hennepin Technical College in 2012, and working across the northern suburbs. I am continually looking to expand my knowledge of new ingredients and different foods. I'm happiest cooking and creating in the kitchen and I want to share that happiness with you through the food I prepare. I focus on fresh ingredients, tasty meals, and satisfied bellies.

When cooking for family, friends, and myself, I enjoy Mexican and Italian dishes, and I'm currently exploring more Asian cuisine. After dealing with food aversions as a child I understand the aspects that make meals delicious and enjoyable for everyone. I have experience in preparing diabetic friendly meals, as well as various allergies and sensitivities, including gluten and dairy allergies. I intend to have everyone in your house enjoying the amazing meals you choose.

Nicole created a fantastic steak taco dinner with a special hand crafted mojo verde sauce that I couldn't get enough of.
The steak was well seasoned and cut into perfect strips for tacos. The side of rice was very tasty along with refried beans.
The combination of the juicy steak, jalapeno relish, and the mojo verde sauce, wrapped in warm, soft tortillas, created a combination of flavors that was simply addicting. It was like a party in my mouth, with each ingredient playing its part very well. Even though I limited myself to a couple tacos I just wanted more.
The ingredients were fresh and of great quality, and the presentation was good. It's clear that she put a lot of thought into creating this meal.
I have had many tacos in my life, but this steak taco dinner with the special sauce will be something I'll often crave.

Had multiple meals by Nicole so far, good every time. Bao buns were AMAZING! A must try. She even made her own mojo verde sauce for steak tacos. Good stuff, highly recommend.
