About the Chef
Chef
Hallie Norvet is the Head Chef and Founder of Hallie Norvet Personal
Chef Service in Los Angeles, CA. Chef Norvet has had a passion for ingredients
and cooking ever since she was a child. While helping her father garden
and prepare ingredients for dinner, she fell in love with the purity,
beauty and transformation of these freshly picked ingredients. Ever
since then, cooking has been her everything.
Growing up in Los Angeles, Chef Norvet has been introduced to some of the
most culturally diverse restaurants in The United States. In 2008, after years of creating meals for friends and family, she decided to take her passion for cooking to a professional level. By enrolling in
California School of Culinary Arts (Le Cordon Bleu Program) in Pasadena,
she gained valuable knowledge about cooking techniques, food culture
and professionalism in the culinary industry.
After graduating CSCA with honors, Chef Norvet put her new found
knowledge to work as a prep cook in a local seafood restaurant. Slowly,
and after shucking hundreds of oysters, she worked her way up the kitchen brigade
to a lead line cook position in one of the most iconic Malibu
restaurants. After years of working under world-class chefs in a
fine-dining kitchen, Chef Norvet furthered her quest for culinary
knowledge by cooking for a large Hollywood catering company. There, she
learned how to prepare for and execute large private events without
compromising the quality, taste or presentation of her dishes.
Simultaneously, Chef Norvet started work as a private chef for a
private family. This is where her love for in-home meal preparation and
private dinner parties began. Since then, Chef Norvet has created her own personal chef service that emphasizes the farm-fresh, local and
organic produce she grew up adoring so much. When she is not experimenting with new ingredients or tasting the local cuisine, she is
cooking for her clients which have become just like family.
About the Service
PERSONAL CHEF
When Chef Hallie started working as a private chef for a single family she had received multiple requests about providing meals for additional families. It was at that time that she realized that she could be helping multiple families eat better at once. Her service is not only a convenient and smart way to eat well, but is a huge help to families and busy professionals who do not have the time to eat how they would like. Next time, ditch the take-out and allow Chef Hallie to create a fresh, customized meal in your home kitchen.
