I create memorable dining experiences with high-quality ingredients, bold flavors, and thoughtful technique—tailored to your table.

Sabrina Pereira

I bring fine-dining craft and warm hospitality to your home or event.

I have 17 years of experience across fine dining, catering, personal chef work, and executive chef roles. Most of my career was built in California, and I recently moved to Colorado—bringing the same high standards, organization, and creativity to every experience I cook.

I’ve had the privilege of preparing meals for people from around the world, and I love designing menus that feel special, delicious, and effortless for you and your guests. I’d be honored to cook for you.

Let’s plan your menu

For me, cooking is a reflection of art, culture, and experience—turning high-quality ingredients into both nourishment and a work of art.

I focus on ingredient-driven cooking that feels elevated, personal, and approachable.

I cook like an artist—always with purpose

Cooking is a reflection of art, culture, and experiences for me. I take high-quality ingredients and transform them into something beautiful to look at, exciting to taste, and genuinely nourishing.

I’m grounded in tradition and trained professionally

I first learned to cook for my grandmother, and that foundation shaped the way I care for people through food. I later earned my culinary degree in 2007 and have spent the last 17 years refining my craft in fine dining, catering, and leadership roles.

I keep it fresh, simple, and technique-forward

My kitchen secret is simple: I start with high-quality ingredients and fresh flavors, then prepare them with clarity and restraint—using a variety of techniques to let the food speak for itself.

Stories and testimonials

Chef Sabrina did an amazing job! We would recommend her to anyone looking to book a private meal. All the food was amazing and the plating was beautiful. She was extremely polite and made the whole experience magical!

We hired Sabrina through Take a Chef, for our daughters "Elaborate Elopement" , which was a group of 13 people all staying together for a 4 day vacation (with a wedding in the middle lol). We had the chef just for the wedding day.....The food was incredible. We had some tricky timing issues with our group, do to some of the group taking pictures for an hour while the rest of the people were at the house etc. I was most concerned about this aspect prior to the event. Sabrina "timed" everything perfectly without a bit of prompting. She just read the room and knew exactly when everything needed to be served. The food as ALL amazing!!!! Several people at the event commented this was the EXACT way to handle/feed this group....and one couple who attended, have decided they too want to have an Elaborate Elopement and will be hiring a chef for their small group as well.

We had Chef Sabrina with us for our 3-day business retreat, and she was absolutely phenomenal. She managed everything on her own for a group of 15 people, and somehow made it all look effortless. From start to finish, she was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and truly felt like part of the team. Before the event even started, she worked with us to craft the perfect menu that captured exactly the feel we were going for. During the retreat, she made sure everyone was taken care of. Accommodating individual needs without missing a beat and delivered meal after meal that had people talking long after we finished eating. By the end of the week, Chef Sabrina had become the highlight of the retreat. Everyone was raving about her, and a few of our guests were already asking her about doing their future events. She brought something really special to the experience, and we’re already looking forward to inviting her back.

Amazing! Everything I was hoping for. Full day experience breakfast, lunch and dinner. Chef Sabrina went above and beyond with cleaning and grabbing extra items from the store. We loved the taco bar and Ceviche!

Sabrina prepared an excellent meal for my group. She was very communicative, the food was delicious, she is a very kind person, and her cleanup was very thorough. I highly recommend Sabrina!

Mike Jensen

Sabrina was a joy to work with! She was very accommodating, and her food was amazing! The Bison Sliders were a big hit and we were able to cut the prime rib with a butter knife! I would definitely use Take a Chef and Sabrina again!

Jennifer Howard

Sabrina was the perfect chef for our dinner. She was easy to talk to, pleasant and just did her thing around our chaos. We were 11 adults and had a big hiking day and were exhausted on our return. We chose family style which was perfect!!! Sabrina cooked a delicious meal!

Maureen Lawrence

Excellent brunch! Worth the price. Thanks so much!!

Erica Berry

Chef Sabrina was absolutely phenomenal! We had a celebration dinner for 10 adults + 3 kids and everyone was in awe of the experience. From the start, she was great at communicating about the menu and the planning. The AirBnB where we staying turned out not to be great as far as kitchen equipment, but she didn't skip a beat and the meal was wonderful from start to finish. She was even extremely kind to the older kid (9) who decided to become her "helper" through the meal. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are very grateful.
