MORE ABOUT ME
Chef Cynthia
I grew up in Staten Island, New York, the daughter of an Italian tug-boat Captain and a Polish homemaker. My parents always had a home-cooked meal on the table and one meal was more delicious than the next. My father would often have the mailman in our kitchen on a cold winter’s day for a bowl of his homemade soup. My love for cooking was always there.
After working on Wall Street for 13 years and
having three children, I decided to follow my dream and attend culinary school at Institute of Culinary Education in
NYC at 40 years old.
My Bachelors degree in Social Work and previous work with children with disabilities provides me with the knowledge and expertise in teaching children and adults with disabilities such as Autism, ADD, ADHD, etc.
I have been enjoying personal chef services, catering and teaching cooking classes to adults and children.
I’m passionate about bringing the joy of cooking to all my clients and would love to share that with you!

TESTIMONIALS
When planning my daughter’s recent baking themed birthday I had the good fortune to have found the Dazzle Me A Dish website. I knew I was in good hands as soon as I saw Chef Cynthia’s charming and inviting home. For our party she added personalized decorations and props to the already beautiful landscape. She wanted my input and anticipated problematic issues that would’ve never occurred to me. This helped things run very smoothly.She held the children’s attention for the lesson, provided time for them to dance and have structured play. The lesson, lunch, pictures, and playtime were all perfectly timed. Of course the birthday cake made with fresh ingredients was perfectly delicious.Each of the guests took home the on-theme keepsakes of an apron and recipe binder. I couldn’t have asked for a better celebration for my daughter’s very important double digit birthday. Cynthia’s professionalism, poise, top notch coordination, and experience made our party perfect. I would highly recommend her to cater, decorate, or host your important event. With Chef Cynthia you are in good hands!
