Meet the Chef
Hello, I'm Chef Laila.  Although I was put to work in the kitchen at an early age, it was as a
teenager that I found my passion for cooking.  This was when I really started to study nutrition
and its effects on the body.  I wanted to learn to prepare food that was both good for me and
tasted great.  I wanted to enjoy everything about food and poured myself into the study of
everything food related.

As a mother, I want to be sure everything my children eat will nourish them inside and out. I
have been sharing my passion for food with family and friends for years.  Now I want to bring
that passion for great food to your home.

I worked in restaurants in the Bay Area and Napa Valley before starting my family.  Practical
experience, my passion for creating delicious and healthy foods, along with training by the
Culinary Business Academy has qualified me as a Personal Chef.  I am a Premier Member of
the United States Personal Chef Association and  as such I am dedicated to upholding the
Code of Ethics as set forth by the organization.  I also maintain liability insurance for your peace
of mind.

I work hard to keep up to date on nutrition news and information.  I am willing to work within
many dietary guidelines.  Low-fat, Low-Cholesterol and Vegetarian diets are just a few of the
specific situations in which I am willing to help you eat what is best for you and your family.  If
you have any special recipes you would like me to prepare I am more than willing to do so.  
Otherwise I have an extensive library of recipes and I can't wait to share them with you.


Capital City Gourmet

Capital City Gourmet is a Personal Chef Service.  That means it is customized to the needs of
each client.  When you make that call to Chef Laila an appointment will be set up to meet with
you personally.  At that time you will answer a brief food questionnaire and your food
preferences will be noted.  We will discuss service plan options and you will decide on the plan
to best suit the needs of you and your family.  We will schedule your first cooking day and you
will receive the menu suggestions which will need your approval no less than one week before
your scheduled cook date.

On your scheduled cook day I will shop for the freshest ingredients and arrive at your home with
my own kitchen supplies to prepare your meals.  I will prepare meals, wrap them and store
them in the appropriate way.  I will leave you with instructions on reheating and serving.  Your
kitchen will be left as I found it, only your refrigerator and freezer will now be filled with delicious,
nutritious, gourmet foods.
