Private Chef Deanna Jernigan: Serving nutritionally-savvy comfort
food for families and busy professionals.
About
Meet Chef D
Trained in her home kitchen as a young girl by her Louisiana-born, California-bred mother, Chef Deanna learned all the necessary “how to’s” of everyday cooking; from broiling to baking, casseroles to stews.
From there, Chef Deanna let her creativity take over, putting her own spin on classic dishes, and expanding her culinary knowledge through countless hours logged watching cooking shows and absorbing cookbooks on a wide range of cuisines—from standard Americana (think meatloaf and Deanna’s decadent mashed potatoes) to raw vegan. Yes, that’s right—no meat, no heat, no problem!
Cut to 2018, Chef Deanna began her FIRST professional gig preparing organic, wholesome, kid-friendly meals for a young family in her Culver City, California neighborhood.
Her clients have ranged from fitness aficionados to longevity-focused senior couples with evolving nutritional needs.
Whether your family is large or small, with picky eaters or adventurous palates, Chef Deanna is committed to bringing health, happiness, and FLAVOR into your home with every bite.
