Chef Bernadette - NYC's Best Personal Chefs

I ditched the Art History academic track to attend Culinary School at the CIA - best move ever!

For me, cooking started with the Better Homes & Gardens Ground Beef Cookbook: “Meatloaf with Ketchup Core & Whipped Mashed Potato Frosting” and has brought me to so many memorable places.

I blend my Filipino-American roots with my Texas childhood, CIA training, and NYC sensibilities. I live and breathe food!

One memorable moment of my career? Just one? Breaking the sauté station record at Bobby Flay’s Bolo for the most paellas and lamb shanks served in one night!

Ask me about my passion for seasonal ingredients, sustainable cooking and celebrating moments with food. I can’t wait to cook for you!

Our focus is weekly meal service for you and your family.

At Tiny Spoon, we spend a lot of time talking about relationships because we think that’s where the “special sauce” is. To us, there’s nothing better than pulling up a stool in the kitchen, steeping in solid conversation with someone fab and grabbing a bite of that perfect thing you didn’t know you wanted mingling with your taste buds.
