It has been the year of the Charcuterie board. People like choice and abundance. Place a charcuterie board down in front of people and they get to pick and choose what they like, making flavor combinations that appeal to them. It’s like a food version of choose-your-own adventure. When you're looking to entertain or need ideas for an event, think of Local Chef Tina Jean. She has the art of the board down to a science.  

NASA is what first brought her and her family to the wonderful Space Coast community in 2019. She is a ten year Air Force Veteran, stay-at-home mom and now your local personal chef! After proudly serving her country in the USAF, she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Culinary Science and Management and became an Instructor Chef at a well-known cooking school in Utah. 

In addition to teaching classes, she also ran her personal chef business, The Custom Chef, LLC. In this business, she combines her love of teaching and passion for cooking with local, quality ingredients to provide you with artisan charcuterie and grazing boards. In addition to her beautiful creations, she also offers hands-on private cooking lessons, and dinner parties with three or more courses. 

If you are interested in any of her services or would like to inquire more about her business, you can email Tina Jean at TheCustomChefLLC@gmail.com or follow her on Instagram @cheftinajean.
