I create detail-driven private dining experiences with bold, balanced flavors—at home or wherever you’re hosting.

Annece Palmer

I cook soulful, flavor-forward food with Michelin-level ambition and real hospitality.

I’m Kingston-born and I’ve spent over 15 years in professional kitchens, building my craft and my culinary portfolio with purpose and discipline. After high school I went straight to culinary school, where I earned the AHLEI Managing Service in F&B Operations completion award.

I started my career at the Biloxi Veterans Affairs and became a Lead Cook at 23. Today I’m fully committed to my dream as a traveling private chef, bringing elevated, personal dining to my clients with intense attention to detail.

Tell me about your date

In my kitchen, I give every dish the same amount of love—keeping it simple, and always blending flavors the right way.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook with purpose

For me, cooking is everything—it has eased my pain, kept me grounded, and helped me stay creative and productive. That’s why I bring focus and intention to every plate I serve.

I built my path from family to fine dining

I was lucky to have a dad who has been cooking since the day I was born, and I learned by watching and doing. I took that foundation into culinary school, and then I turned it into my own private chef business.

I keep it simple, but never basic

My secret is giving everything the same amount of love. I keep dishes straightforward, and I pay close attention to how flavors blend—because balance is what makes a meal unforgettable.
