As the Head Chef and founder of Mindful Kitchen, my name is Makayla. I specialize in providing private chef services for both daily and weekly meal preparations. Additionally, I cater events that aim to connect people with each other and their food experiences. To ensure quality ingredients, I source all of my produce from reputable local farm vendors throughout the Bay Area. At Mindful Kitchen, my main focus is to create meals from scratch, using fresh, in-season ingredients. My culinary inspiration primarily stems from French and Californian cuisine, which I combine to create gourmet dishes that are innovative and hearty.

Makayla rendered an astounding service, creating food that was undeniably delectable and crafted with top-notch ingredients. The Mediterranean salad she prepared was a personal favorite of mine, as well as her expertly made hummus bowl. All in all, it was a memorable dining experience that I highly endorse to others.

Makayla is exceptionally amiable and approachable. I had the privilege of experiencing an in-person cooking lesson with her, from which I acquired a wealth of insights that I can readily incorporate into my daily routine. I enthusiastically suggested her name to my acquaintances and also scheduled my ensuing cooking session with her. Her extensive proficiency and competence in cooking are truly exemplary.

Over the weekend, I welcomed some friends for a fun-filled girls' trip, during which Makayla took on the responsibility of cooking dinner for five of us on Saturday night. Her culinary expertise was evident in the scrumptious meal she presented, which was served in perfectly timed portions, giving us ample time to chat, laugh and sip on some wine. The plating was beautifully done, with an assortment of dishes that were skillfully prepared. Makayla also took the initiative to tidy up the kitchen before departing, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. To top it all off, her sweet personality was the icing on the cake. By the end of the night, everyone was requesting her contact information.
