Chef Leslie P. – Personal Chef

Chef Leslie P. brings a unique combination of culinary experience, business ownership, and exceptional client service to her role as a personal chef. Having owned and operated restaurants in both Canada and Mexico, Leslie understands that great food is about more than what is on the plate. It is about listening to people, understanding what they enjoy, and creating an experience around their individual needs.

Her culinary background includes menu development, recipe planning, food costing, sourcing ingredients, and operating restaurants in very different communities and cultures. Years spent living and working in Mexico also broadened her appreciation for different ingredients, flavours, and styles of cooking, while teaching her the importance of adaptability.

Leslie's experience outside the kitchen is another strength she brings to her clients. With a background in business ownership, customer relationships, and project management, she is highly organized, dependable, and an excellent communicator. As someone who is celiac herself, she also has a personal understanding of the importance of dietary restrictions, food allergies, and careful meal preparation. She approaches each client with professionalism and attention to detail, taking the time to understand their tastes, dietary preferences, and what will work best for their household.

Now offering personalized weekly meal prep in Edmonton, Leslie creates flavourful, thoughtfully prepared meals designed to make everyday life easier. She brings warmth and confidence into the kitchen along with a genuine desire to provide dependable service and food her clients will look forward to eating throughout the week.

For busy individuals and families, Leslie offers the combination that matters most: great food, thoughtful personalization, and a meal prep service they can rely on week after week.

I like it at about that level. It gives someone with celiac disease or food restrictions an immediate little point of connection with her, without defining Leslie or her cooking by it.
