Personal Chef available for Intimate In-Home Dining and Private Instruction   Chef JoAnna is a classically-trained chef who specializes in at-home fine dining. While attending culinary school in Santa Monica, CA, she earned a 4.0 GPA as well as certifications in Nutrition, Cost Control, Culinary Management and Safety & Sanitation. Originally from Chicago, Chef JoAnna has recently moved from Los Angeles to Nashville to establish an organic farm with an on-site restaurant. Specialties: In-Home Fine Dining: When you want to celebrate a special occasion, why go out when you can bring the restaurant to you?  You choose the menu, the music, and serve wines from your own collection. Also, all the cooking is done in your home, so there are no additional costs for certified kitchen rentals, and you can supervise (taste!) all the recipes as they're being made. Cooking Lessons:When it comes to teaching, Chef JoAnna shares her passion for food with her students. She is patient with beginners, but she will challenge more advanced cooking students to expand their skills. Chef JoAnna offers private cooking instruction from beginner to advanced. Since lessons are taught in your home, using your appliances, you'll be able to reproduce excellent results in your own kitchen!  If you like Alton Brown's "Good Food" show, you'll find Chef JoAnna's manner and style to be similar. Wine Tasting & Food Pairing:You don't have to be intimitated by a restaurant's wine list anymore. Let Chef JoAnna show you how to match wines to your favorite foods. Not only will you be more secure when faced with choosing a wine, you'll enjoy your wine, and your food, that much more.
