About The Chef
Kimberly Todd is the Chef/Owner of Meals to Remember Personal Chef Service. While she is a classically trained Chef, her passion for cooking started at a young age while helping her Grandmother and Mother prepare the nightly meal. Kimberly was born in Louisiana and raised in Texas, so it is of no surprise for her love of Creole and Southern Cuisines.
After being diagnosed with gluten intolerance, Kimberly was immersed into the world of gluten-free cooking. She has vast experience with cooking for clients who have various food allergies and raw food diets.
In her spare time, you will find her painting, enjoying the great Florida outdoors, or cooking for her friends on "girls night". Kimberly is very active in her community and believes that giving back is a must! She feels fortunate to be back in Pensacola, working with her Mom once again.
A graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, NY in Culinary Arts with additional certification in Baking and Pastry. She also has Personal Chef training from the Culinary Business Academy (CBA) through The Unites States Personal Chef Association. In 2008, she was awarded the title of Certified Personal Chef thru the USPCA after many years of hard work and testing.
Chef Kimberly has worked in many facets of the culinary industry. She worked for the Ritz Carlton Hotel where she learned discipline and speed working along side many great French Chefs. She was a Research & Developement Chef and Business Consultant at a popular Bakery Cafe' Franchise Corporation for many years. Through her travels, she has also worked with two Master Chefs and one Certified Master Baker. While she values the experience she has gained, she is grateful each day to be fortunate to work for herself and to serve others. She is constantly updating her training on food allergies, eating raw food, and specialty diets.

WORDS of PRAISE
My wife loved the Valentines Dinner and chocolate dipped strawberries. Thank you for making the night truly special. I don't know how I will top this! - Stephen Moore., Pensacola, FL
You are awesome! Thanks for doing such a wonderful job on everything last night. Everyone had such a great time and you made it extra special for all of us. I'd say it was a huge success and I thank you for coming into my home and making it memorable. - Cindy Frano., Pensacola, FL, Pensacola Naval Air Station
Your Gumbo is better than my Cajun Grandmother's recipe. - Jill Baker., Pensacola, FL
Everything has been wonderful! I am definitely interested in having more meals. - Wendy H., Pensacola, FL
The seafood crepes were the bomb, probably my favorite of them all. Your Chicken Parmesan - we have never tasted any better anywhere. You need to market that somehow, I am a huge critic of chicken parmesan because it is one of those ordered out a great deal. The beef ravioli - I didn't even get to taste it because the kids woofed it down, so I take it that it was enjoyed. I loved your service and want to get some cooking lessons. - Pam Watts., Pensacola, FL
This town needs your skills. The town also needs variety. Many of us get tired of eating the same things.
Thank you for your fabulous food for our Scotch Party. Everyone is still talking about your cuisine.
