A growing family!
Personal Plates is a small family business run by Chef Gina, when she's not running after her kids! Please note,
there has been a change of services provided. Cooking classes are still available remote, in-home, and on-site but now limited to remote only during the week. Special Events (private group classes, date nights, and family events) will be booked
for weekends only, requiring a 30 day advanced notice, planned menu & deposit to secure.
Made by Scratch with Love
Great taste is the name of the game and we're committed to stepping up to the plate. Our goal is provide delicious, flavorful options. That's why we prepare all of our meals on-site with ingredients from scratch. From cooking classes to on-site events, expect a fresh bite every time!

Everyone Cooks!
As a skill that is highly desired, appreciated, and welcomed in every home, it is important to know how to cook. In an effort to get children ready to cook on their own, Chef Gina works with them to build confidence while learning through experience and gaining skills.
