Hi! I’m Kendra Womack, a private chef based in Los Angeles.
I have spent 11 years in hospitality, where I discovered my passion for cooking, eating well and a genuine love of feeding everyone.
I was born and raised in Orange County, California, and studied Anthropology at UCLA. My degree helped me understand how intrinsic the relationship between food and culture is, and why sharing a meal with others is the ultimate form of connection.
I am deeply in tune with the seasonality of California produce, and you’ll often find me at the Hollywood Farmers Market on Sunday mornings.
It would be an honor to feed you a meal made with the freshest, whole ingredients without guilt or fuss.
Thoughtful Testimonials
“Kendra’s meal service, Mustard & Miso, is honestly a lifesaver. I get restaurant-quality food without the stress of cooking, and everything tastes genuinely incredible. She sources from farmers markets, so the meals shift with the seasons—everything feels fresh and intentional. She makes healthy eating feel easy and actually delicious.”

“Kendra gave us such an amazing experience from beginning to end. I valued how collaborative she was throughout the process — I felt like we were a real team as we worked together on the menu. She arrived at our home early to get everything started and made the entire evening feel effortless. The highlight of the night was dessert, and much to our daughter’s delight, she got to help put the finishing touches on. Seeing how excited and included she felt made it very special. Kendra is not only a talented chef, but someone who genuinely creates warmth and connection through her cooking. I can't wait to hire her again.”

Kendra’s meal prep has been a game changer for me. I used to sustain on sad desk snacks and “does popcorn count as dinner?” vibes and now I open my fridge and it’s actually exciting in there. Everything tastes like it was made by someone who genuinely cares (because it was), and having nourishing and flavorful food waiting for me has changed how I show up for my work and self. Kendra can cook her lil heart out—cannot recommend enough.”
