In a world that moves so fast, it can be hard to make sure we nourish ourselves properly through food. I’m very passionate about providing my families with healthy, delicious meals. Let me help you take the guess work out of the famous question “whats for dinner?”

ABOUT ME

Food has always a big part of my life. Some of my most special memories include sharing meals with my mother and father as a child. In 2011 I received my bachelors degree in Culinary Arts and Sciences from Pennsylvania College of Technology. Following graduation, I’ve worked at some of the most renowned restaurants in Philadelphia and Denver including Le Bec Fin, Zahav and Mercantile. In August of 2021, I launched Monarch Personal Chef. The name Monarch honors my late mother, Mary. We believe she lives through the monarch butterfly.

The Mission

Monarch Personal chef offers a unique culinary experience of in-home private cooking. I do all the planning, shopping, cooking & cleaning. Each week I provide you and your family with a custom menu that caters to your dietary needs, restrictions and preferences. Pricing varies depending on meals.

“Elaine has been our chef for over a year and has done an amazing job coming up with unique and creative meals for our family. We have a lot of dietary restrictions which haven’t phased her a bit. We are so grateful to have Elaine in our lives”

“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well”
