Chef Kendra Peterson

Chef Kendra is founder and owner of Drizzle Kitchen. Drizzle Kitchen is a private chef services company, the first in Chicago to focus on nutritious, allergy friendly foods. Kendra has always had a love affair with food. From a young age she was always by her mother’s side in the kitchen, whisking and tasting. In highschool her passion for food grew while she poured through cookbooks, took cooking classes and invited friends over for homemade pasta after school. She attended college at Miami of Ohio and cooked plenty of homemade dishes for roommates while receiving her degree in Nutrition and Food Science. Post college she worked for Williams-Sonoma helping open stores and curate culinary programs for stores in the Midwest. In addition to working for Williams-Sonoma, Kendra catered parties on the side, and during one of these parties was approached by what would become her first private chef client. After that day word of mouth spread and eventually Kendra gathered a loyal group of clients that allowed her to fully focus on Drizzle Kitchen.
