Hi, I’m Chef Kimberly.
Kimberly Andrade

I’m a private traveling chef creating unforgettable, comfort-forward meals and events—anywhere in the US and the Caribbean.

I bring international comfort food to your home—crafted with care, travel-inspired flavor, and total discretion.

I’m a private traveling chef available for one-time events or short stays for you or groups up to 75 guests across the US and the Caribbean. I bring over 10 years of in-home service experience and more than 33 years of cooking experience, with professional culinary training from Johnson & Wales University and additional study in dietetics and psychology.

My cooking is shaped by a life of travel and living in the South, New England, Haiti, and between the Dominican Republic and the US. I love building menus around your vision—whether you crave Caribbean, Italian, Greek, Mexican, Southern, Soul Food, New England, Tex Mex, or fusion—and I’m trained to support special diets and allergy needs while leaving your kitchen sparkling when I’m done.

My secret ingredient is love—then comes the flavor. I also love getting nostalgic and cooking recipes the way your grandma used to make them.

I cook with heart, precision, and a traveler’s curiosity.

My cooking is therapeutic and flavor-driven

Cooking is therapeutic, healing, and exciting for me, and my travels inspire me to experiment with bold spices and different flavor profiles while still keeping every dish comforting and familiar.

I’m classically trained and constantly learning

I learned to cook at home and then professionally through Johnson & Wales University, building on that foundation with many varied experiences over the years. I’ve also worked as a chef educator, and I love giving back what I’ve learned.

I lead with love, nostalgia, and hospitality

Love is my first ingredient, and I build flavor from there. I also lean into nostalgia, recreating the dishes you grew up with so your table feels personal, warm, and unforgettable.

— Adrian Mercado

Chef Kim was amazing. She was responsive from the second i submitted a request. Chef Kim offered multiple menus and tweaked her offerings to reflect the tastes we desired for our meal. She was patient with us and our newborn, outgoing and polite, and she did an amazing job with the food and cleaning. I would request chef Kim specifically for my next take a chef experience.
