I’m Chef Stephanie Chinchilla, a passionate culinary artist with over 20 years of experience in both front and back of house roles in the restaurant industry. My journey began as soon as I could reach the countertop to help my mom cook, and it evolved into a lifelong obsession with all things culinary. From butchery and dry-aged beef to fermenting, gardening, and hospitality, my expertise spans a broad spectrum of the culinary arts.
 

In 2015, I launched Chef Chinchilla to share my passion for food, wine, and hospitality with the world. My purpose is simple yet profound: to nurture through food. Whether it’s creating unforgettable experiences for corporate teams, crafting personalized menus as a private chef, or teaching hands-on cooking classes, my goal is to inspire and unite people through the power of the culinary arts.

My Passion and Purpose

I believe the power of culinary arts can create a heightened state of emotion that deeply moves a person.
