Maui private chef bio

My food is my art, the truest way I’ve found to combine my loves of travel, hospitality, and wellness into one place.

My menus are as influenced by my California roots as they are by years of backpacking through Southeast Asia and Central America. I love the rustic elegance of wine country-esque meals, as well as the explosions of flavor and texture characterized by Panasian and traditional Mexican cuisine. In short: I am happy to keep it classic – or offer a unique contemporary experience, always featuring the culinary bounty of Maui’s farms and seas.

My training began with a classic French cuisine Le Cordon Bleu degree, but I also have studied many healing styles of cooking including Holistic Nutrition with Hawthorn University, Ayurvedic Chef Training with Hale Pule, Raw Foods with various chefs, and Wildcrafting with Earth Medicine Institute.

I boast twenty years in the hospitality industry, working both in the front and back of restaurants, event management, catering, wine industry, festival production, weddings, and eight years as a full-time private chef.

It means a great deal to me to be versatile and open-minded in my cooking and energy, and I love merging healthy cuisine with rich invigorating flavors – creating a new style of health food that doesn’t lack in depth or satisfaction.

If you’re looking for rich vibrant farm-to-table food, and a chef with love, passion, and knowledge to bring an intentional and interactive experience, please contact me. I can’t wait to hear from you.

client praise

“

Our family owns multiple restaurants in both Chicago and Seattle, some for more than 30 years. During that time we’ve sampled the food of dozens of chefs who wanted to work for us, including CIA grads and some with Michelin stars. KYRA RANKS AT THE VERY TOP. With her terrific assistants, Heidi and Allisa, Kyra created an incredible 6 course dinner and served 10 of us with incredible style and timing from the miniscule kitchen of our hotel suite. We’ve eaten in fine restaurants all over the world (including our own) and would rate the meal Kyra created for us as truly among the very best. You’ll be lucky if you can book her!

Kyra was so accommodating to my picky eater status. She called me ahead of the retreat to ensure she had food for the week that I would be able to enjoy. I was very appreciative. Throughout the week I ate way more than I thought I would and even tried some new foods I had never had before. She is an amazing, creative chef who I highly recommend!

Kyra and her team provided us with a world-class experience of cuisine during our company retreat in Maui. She also helped get us in touch with other amazing people in the hospitality industry that included a mixologist, massage therapist, and more. Highly recommend!

Kyra is amazing! She was always pleasant and very responsive to my emails. Meeting her in person was a delight with her upbeat personality and love for her craft! She is skilled and creative. The plant based meal she created for us was thoughtful and delicious! Each dish is beautifully prepared and presented with attention to every detail. She went above and beyond our expectations! If you are looking for an extraordinary experience I highly recommend Kyra-you will not be disappointed!

Kyra is pure magic! I worked with Kyra to create a stunning picnic on the beach in Hawaii, and her food was so delicioius. On top of that, she helped to coordinate a gorgeous picnic set up with some of her colleagues out there, and holy MOLY was the result incredible. She *even* helped us get a few professional photographs--which speak for themselves. If you are looking for any kind of catering or prepared meals, Kyra infuses all that she makes with pure love. Thank you for making our experience so special, Kyra!

I had the pleasure of hiring Kyra to cater my most recent ShaktiRize retreat in Maui. She showed up on so many levels, from bringing altars, to Kangan water, to dropping into class with the other women. The menu was fully vegan and gluten-free and was not only delicious, but also intentional and presented beautifully. She put a lot of work into featuring local vendors and produce. I can't wait to work with her again.

Kyra was an amazing chef and prepared a memorable dinner for me and my family- we were celebrating my daughter in law's 30th birthday. The food was out of this world. She was so good with my young grand children and they even ate her food. I highly recommend Kyra to cook in your home.

My family was very happy with the “Hawaiian” inspired brunch Chef Kyra and her team prepared. Everything was prepared fresh with local ingredients and was beautifully presented. From Ahi Eggs Benedict to the juice bar, my family raved about the entire meal. Chef Kyra and her team were also fantastic in their service and so fun and friendly. When in Maui again, I would definitely use her services.

about my services

Seated Meals

I love creating beautiful meals. My food features farm-to-table ingredients with an emphasis on fresh, bright, flavorful, and seasonal produce, fish, poultry, and meat.

My clients are locals as well as visitors to the islands. They love working with me because I am knowledgeable, passionate, personable, and dynamic as a chef. I have preset menus, but I also am happy to play and create custom creations for any palate or diet.

Retreat Catering

As a yoga teacher, holistic nutritionist, and ayurvedic chef, I love creating nourishing farm-to-table menus for yoga retreats, coaching retreats, or any intentional offering. I also offer mentorship and community for other like-minded retreat chefs through my referral business More Pleaze.

My retreat menus range from simple to elegant, from family-style to plated. Vegan, raw, gluten-free, and paleo are all available. Let me support you in making your retreat perfect.

Meal Prep

I offer meal prep for busy families, professionals, and couples. I love working with visiting families and helping them to have a perfect stress-free vacation.

Meal prep is a custom service and can range from me serving family-style food for families, to me leaving your fridge packed, or I can create custom pre-portioned meals for those with specific diets. As a trained holistic nutrition consultant, I’m happy to cater to custom diets.

Weddings & Cermonies

I love small weddings and elopements! I have packages available for both plant-based and animal protein-centric wedding offerings. The weddings I tend to work with are non-traditional and have ranged from intentional vegan weddings to festival-inspired dance parties to elopements to LGBTQ+ anti-establishment ceremonies.

Menus available plated, family-style, passed, or buffet. I am not a traditional wedding caterer, but I can coordinate rentals and service staff if needed. The ideal wedding party size is under 50 guests and the venue must have a kitchen onsite.
