ABOUT CHEF Amira-Marie

Chef Amira-Marie is a creative, client-focused private chef specializing in coastal California influenced global cuisine. A graduate of Johnson & Wales University, she was the only member of her class recruited by the 5-Star, 5-Diamond Mandarin Oriental Boston, where she began her career in fine dining. At just 20 years old, she launched her first UHNW private chef engagement on Martha’s Vineyard.

​

Wanting to expand the people-focused skills essential for private chef work, Amira transitioned into food-related tech, where she taught herself to code and managed six-to-seven-figure projects- while continuing her culinary work, catering small events for clients, delivering meal prep, and hosting  tasting events.

 

She later returned full-time to the kitchen, culminating to achieving the role of Executive Chef at a mountainside mindfulness retreat center, where she redesigned the entire culinary program, up-skilled staff, and deepened guest connections. This was a uniquely fulfilling chapter that further honed skills useful for her permanent return to private chef work.

​

Since then, Amira has continued to dutifully deliver remarkable meals for UHNW, high-profile and discerning clients across the U.S. She has served as a guest chef judge for the U.S. Marines quarterly culinary competition and is a frequent speaker on culinary arts, equity, and mental health. She brings warmth, adaptability, and thoughtful perspective to every table she serves.
