Hi, I’m Chef Jamie Bisioulis. The first decade of my career was spent in cafes, catering and corporate dining with a little reality cooking tv thrown in there. Next was my own venture, Fire Thyme which ultimately became Fire Thyme Kitchen + Bar. Unfortunately I had to make the difficult decision to close my restaurant. Now that I’ve made it through to the other side- I realized life after Fire Thyme moves on and with that comes new opportunity. I’m returning to the kitchen, whether it be in my home or yours and I’ll show you the what’s, how’s and why’s of the kitchen while having a little fun in my pretty apron cooking.
Here’s a glimpse of what I can offer:
CURATED MEAL PLANNING + PREPPING
You want a plan of attack when it comes to eating in. Chef Jamie specializes in nutrient dense, seed oil free, kid friendly, low carb, high protein, veggie friendly, gluten free friendly and dairy free cooking. She works with your dietary needs to create weekly plans with personalized grocery lists, recipes and on demand virtual support via text with Chef Jamie. If you prefer in home meal prepping services, Chef Jamie’s time is bookable by half days. She works in your kitchen with her equipment, uses your own containers and cleans up and gets out. Going out and you don’t know the healthiest option? No problem, Chef Jamie can research the menu and give you the best options for your current dietary needs.
Private parties
You have a gorgeous house, why don’t you show it off? Book Chef Jamie for anything party related! Chef can handle everything from an intimate dinner party for 4 to a fancy multi-coursed dinner party for 25! Don’t worry about the planning; you and Jamie will go over every detail prior to arriving. All we need is a budget, favorite flavors, dietary preferences and which kind of vibe you’re going for. There are over 300 personal chefs in the chicagoland area, but you should choose the one who makes you feel comfortable and really fun to be around! It’s always nice having a private chef like Jamie!
kiddo cooking LESSONS
Chef Jamie’s school of kiddo cooking is fun, interactive and completely tailored to individual needs. Pick a dish or theme, and I travel to you with all the goodies necessary to learn and have a blast. Perfect gift for someone who has it all. Chef’s also available for other parties and can cater to adults as well.
