Thank You for the opportunity to present my services to you! I am Shoshana Klein, a resident of the Bay Area for over 20 years. Why am I a Personal Chef? I have always been passionate about cooking and healthy eating, and I love to cook for others and make parties for friends and family.

My cooking career began about 22 years ago when I started out doing event catering for weddings, corporate events, and small businesses and parties. I loved the fast pace and the excitement of each event. Then, while earning my Bachelors degree at UC Santa Cruz, I cooked for several different families as a means to help me create extra income while in school. It was a great experience and the beginning of a career that would mean more to me later on in my life.

In 1992, I moved to Berkeley, CA. to attend graduate school at UC Berkeley. I continued to utilize my cooking skills catering both small and large events as well as some personal "cheffing" which is what I continue to do today. Being a chef in the Bay Area is a blessing with all the diversity of foods and cuisines we have at our fingertips.

I love making people happy with healthy, good food, and also helping create parties for people who want to entertain guests in a unique and fun way. I look foward to working with you!!
