Have you ever considered packing up, moving out of the country, and starting over? We’ve all tossed that idea around like a salad, but I actually went ahead and flipped the skillet! My Crafting A Meal Cookbook, Mediterranean style is inspired by my own culinary adventure of a lifetime. In my mid

Receiving such feedback is truly validating and reinforces my purpose. It is a privilege to assist others in achieving success, overcoming their apprehensions, and progressing towards establishing their ideal businesses. Thank you thank you.

This coaching client had to step away from cheffing to take care of her ailing grandmother. And decided to move to an entirely different state in a new area she had never lived before. How is she going to find work as a private chef in a career that she has been working in for decades?

"I began working with Chef Robin after being away from the private chef world for a little over a year. I was looking for a fresh start—and most importantly, guidance. Chef Robin provided exactly that, along with the spark I needed to refocus and move my business forward.
We worked closely on the engagement and marketing components of her program, which were my primary focus as I worked to re-enter the market. She also generously shared insight into other aspects of the business, all of which were incredibly valuable.
The time spent working with her was well worth it. Chef Robin is extremely knowledgeable and supportive in all facets of private cheffing. She has a way of putting everything into perspective while keeping things simple, clear, and actionable.
I highly recommend working with her if you’re seeking guidance and direction for your business. I absolutely plan to continue working with her in the future. Thank you so much, Chef Robin!"

From Burnout to Bliss: A Chef's Journey with Coaching

Meet Chef Lauren, a talented private chef who found herself overwhelmed by the demands of her weekly clients and the pressure to constantly innovate. Her passion for cooking started to gradually diminish as the pressures of managing the business became overwhelming.

Following the discovery of my coaching services and Secrets of a Private Chef courses, Lauren learned to establish boundaries and manage her time more efficiently. With personalized strategies and support, we successfully transformed her professional approach.

Lauren's thriving business allows her more free time and has rekindled her passion for cooking, all while simplifying her accounting and business management challenges. Her story is one of many transformations that exemplifies the power of my dedicated coaching.

Thankful and Grateful: Reflections on This Past Year

As 2025 comes to a close, I am reflecting on all the incredible moments, experiences, and connections I've made. This past year has been a journey filled with new clients, returning friends, and countless culinary adventures that have warmed my heart and inspired my creativity.

I am immensely grateful for each new client who entrusted me with their culinary needs. Your enthusiasm and passion for food have inspired my work, challenging me to push boundaries and explore new flavors.

To my returning clients, thank you for your loyalty and support. It’s a joy to continue our culinary journey together, crafting dishes that bring joy to your tables and gatherings.

This year has also been filled with unforgettable cooking experiences. From experimenting with new recipes, tasting new and familiar foods on my travels, to hosting delightful events, each moment has added a unique flavor to my life, deepening my love for my craft.

As I look forward to the coming year, I carry these memories with me, excited to continue sharing the joy of food with all of you. Here’s to more delightful experiences, new connections, and delicious moments in the future!

It's so heartwarming to see my coaching clients embrace both their strengths and areas for growth. There journeys inspire me, and I’m excited to see where it takes them next!

I went into Chef Robin’s course with a lot of ambition, but without the confidence to execute what I wished to achieve. I’ve spent most of my culinary career working in restaurants, so thinking about working for myself as a personal chef felt like a whole new very daunting challenge that I didn’t fully understand how to make a reality. Taking this course gave me the opportunity to approach some unanswered questions that I would not have thought to clarify in such detail on my own without the push from chef Robin. I now further understand what my strengths and my weaknesses are, what steps I need to take, and how to think bigger while being realistic. And even more than that, taking this course has given me the opportunity to make some really great contacts with locals and other chefs. Chef Robin is clearly very skilled and experienced in her field, and that knowledge mixed with her kind disposition has really inspired a new sense of trust in myself, which has helped me move forward in my career.

You might be wondering how to navigate the complexities of accounting, invoicing, required permits and insurance, marketing, menu planning, and client management. Having a mentor or coach can provide valuable insights and save you time and frustration.

Here’s the good news: you already know how to cook! Now, let’s focus on how to turn that passion into a thriving business. Take the first step by reaching out to me for guidance, consulting with someone who has walked this path, and the right support can make all the difference.
seeking advice isn’t a cop-out. It’s a smart move! You may have a strong culinary background—whether through culinary school or self-taught experiences—but setting up a business requires a different skill set.

Every chef starts their journey with simple, meaningful steps. Today’s small efforts build the foundation for tomorrow’s big achievements.

No one becomes an expert overnight; it’s all about being consistent rather than perfect. Take a moment to celebrate your progress, no matter how small, and keep moving forward with confidence and joy.
