Enjoy The Personal Chef Experience On Your Vacation

Who says you have to eat out when you stay at an Airbnb®?

Hi there! I’m Annie – Chef AnnJo – retired vet tech and certified chef, and this is my website. Based in the foothills of the Ozarks, I am the Glenwood area’s only specialty Personal Chef, catering specifically to folks who are visiting our area on vacation while staying at a rental property.

You don’t have to order out – you don’t have to cook your own meals. You can enjoy the lakes, the white water sports, and fresh air all day and come home to a professionally prepared meal that you’ve chosen in advance, ready to eat when you’re ready to come in from the outdoors!

Cuisine & Style

Let’s be honest – it’s not just about the food – it’s about the Cuisine. The style in which your meal is prepared is what makes it something to look forward to. Here’s what you need to know about my cooking style and selections of cuisine: my heritage is Italian, I grew up in Southeast Texas where my father owned a shrimp boat, I studied under some of the finest chefs from France and Germany, and my Sicilian great-grandmother who immigrated to New Jersey taught me how to make tomato sauce the right way. I’ve spent enough time in Louisiana to catch my own crawfish, and in Kentucky I honed my taste for good bourbon.

Some of the flavors that may be represented on my menus include Southern Italian, Tex-Mex, Cajun, Asian, Mediterranean, Southern American Barbecue, Soul Food, and American cuisines, to name a few.

When you book a meal service with me, probably the first thing I’ll ask you is what type of cuisine you prefer, or do you want to be surprised?

One thing is for sure, no one will leave the table hungry.

Choose Your Service, Choose Your Date

Ordering a Chef-prepared meal for you vacation stay is pretty darn easy, thanks to the magic of the Internet. You can look through my menus and decide which combination of cuisine, style, and protein you would like to have, then simply head to the Booking page where you will choose select the service you need for the number of people you expect, chose the date, then place your order!

Locally Sourced Whenever Possible

The Caddo River valley area is home to a wide variety of farming and ranching. This means we are fortunate to have access to farm-fresh, quality ingredients right here in our own backyards, so to speak. Whenever possible, I prefer to source locally – nothing beats the taste of a farm fresh egg for breakfast, or the tangy goodness of a locally grown tomato!
