Jessica Brunelli
Hello! My name is Jessica Brunelli. I am currently living in the Bay area but have worked in kitchens up and down the California Coast.
After spending 10 years in restaurants I decided it was time to branch out on my own and practice my art in a more personalized way.
Coming from an Italian household, I was made to entertain.
Our house was always full of people coming to dinner, even if we didn’t know they were. Luckily, my dad made enough food to feed the entire street almost every night and my mom’s beautifully set tables would rival any event coordinanter.
Food is in our blood and I am lucky to carry on the craft. Armed with generations of family recipes, mixed with my own learned experience in restaurants from the Bay Area to Orange County, I’m here to share my passion and traditions with you.
Are you looking for a Private Chef?

Jessica prepared and served us a wonderful meal that satisfied everyone. She also ensured the meal met all dietary restrictions. We loved it so much we invited her back for another dinner.

Chef Jessica was wonderful to work with. We planned the menu for my husband’s 50th birthday dinner and it was delicious. The crab cakes were perfectly cooked and almost everyone had seconds. The filet mignon was extremely tender that you could cut it with a butter knife. Chef Jessica was professional and very accommodating, making a special meal for my dad due to diet restrictions. I highly recommend her and would definitely work with her again. I wish I remembered to take photos but the food was so good, it was eaten before I had a chance.

Jessica was the absolute best!!!! We were lucky enough to have her cook thanksgiving dinner for our family and every single dish was unreal - so delicious, everything down to the ricotta cheese was homemade and not only was it insanely delicious but she was so wonderful to have around the house! Jessica was just the best and I’m so excited I found her because I can’t wait to have more dinner parties just to have Jessica’s amazing food again!

Jessica is an amazing chef and wonderful person. She helped me plan and execute a surprise multi-course dinner for my husband's 40th birthday. Each course was delicious and served at just the right time. Jessica was especially sweet with my son who likes to help in the kitchen and asked her a million questions! We hope to have her cook for us again!

Jessica's food is amazing, and she's an overall lovely person to work with. We had her over to our house to cook for just the two of us and tried several delicious dishes--we especially loved the spiced and crusted salmon and the pavlova for dessert. We're hiring her as the chef for our small wedding coming up next month, and we know our guests will be blown away.

I threw a surprise birthday party for my boyfriend and Jessica absolutely killed it! She not only played along in the surprise but was also tasked to bring food up from the 5th floor to the 7th. Every dish was well executed. Presentation, temperature, and quality ace’s all the way around! Her and her partner made our evening unforgettable!

We had great experience with Jessica and Elena. They were both so professional, friendly, and did a great job making a private dinner for our group.
Will definitely work with them again,
