Get Your Time Back

So when was the last time you were a guest in your home?

Eating out or ordering ‘take-out' food EVERY night is not the healthiest option for your health or weight. As convenient as it is dining out or ordering take-out foods with the foodie experience, restaurant food is often loaded with salt, fattening sauces, creams and heavy butter. It's not custom made for you.

A Note From Milan 

No longer will you be confused about  how to be health conscious at home...

My passion for cooking started in 1992. Working with a diverse clientele helped me to develop my own creative flair for preparing flavorful and Mediterranean plated food entrees. This was born from my culinary education studies and training.in: Food Styling, Latin cuisine, French cuisine, American cuisine, with a specialization in flavorful gourmet Vegan Cuisine and healthy Mediterranean cuisines from the International Culinary School of Chicago-at the Art Institutes. 

After an intensive study in holistic health, my goal was to blend wellbeing with the culinary world. Years later I mentorship from top Chicago executive chefs at The Chopping Block where I taught cooking classes/events and wine tastings. My style of cooking for my clients is based on my own style of cooking at home which is gourmet, with taste, texture and loads of flavor.

I want you to nourish yourself in an elegant way while dining at home. My love will become your new love, eating spa quality, delicious, healthy meals, inspired of the Mediterranean and South of France in your own home! This is Chic food that speaks to you!

I am a Chicago personal chef and as a career changer working 18 years at FedEx from 1988 until 2006, my desire was to leave a hectic and very stressful career to enjoy the freedom of working for myself!  My love is cooking healthy whole foods with lots of spices and fresh herbs without the use of preservatives.

Gratitude from my local Chicago clients

Working with Milan is a dream. Her dedication to the very specific dietary needs and requests for my family is truly unparalleled. We appreciate her desire to research topic matters independently while always sharing her vast food and herbal knowledge with us along the way. Can not recommend enough"! ~Ashley Loquercio

 

"Milan made dinner for 7 people in my house at the end of September 2020. It was the first time I decided to have someone cook in my house. Getting the house ready is not big deal for me, but cooking for more than 4 people is stressful and food not always comes out right. Milan helped to plan the menu. She did the shopping, brought everything to my house and cooked superb dinner! Steaks were delicious, she paired very good red wine with the meet. My guest really enjoyed it. For the first time I was not frantic about having people over. I had a chance to talk to my guests and enjoy the dinner myself.
At the end Milan left my kitchen clean, all dishes were done. She's also very professional and pleasant to work with I will definitely hire her again!" ~ Bozena

 

"Milan was provided an amazing personal chef experience for a small private dinner party. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and amazing food impressed everyone and we will definitely be booking her again for more future events." ~ Claudia Laughter

 

"I booked Milan for a small private executive retreat at an Airbnb in Michigan. She did a lovely job. Not only was she pleasant to work with, you can tell she is passionate about food and entertaining. I would recommend her for small events and gatherings"~ Cassie Johnson

 

"Milan is awesome. She assisted my husband in creating a delicious and thoughtful four-course Valentine's dinner experience. Which also included a signature cocktail. She was flexible in the planning of the menu and the date/time of the event. Her personality is so comfortable and she is a wealth of information. I can't wait to work with her again". ~ Conswaila Sydnor Davis
