About Gold Plated

Meet Joanna Gold

Your Local Personal Chef

I'm a New Jersey native, wife, and mother of two. I have 13 years of experience in the restaurant business, holding every position from hostess to line cook, from cocktail server to manager.

After receiving my culinary degree, I wanted to build a food company that would keep me close to home. Fewer late nights and more one- on-one time with people needing real help with real food.

I've spent the past 11 years making meals for families & individuals who crave personalized culinary service. Some of my clients have specialized diets while others have been diagnosed with life-threatening allergies. And some are just too busy to think about the details. I'm proud of the personalized service we deliver, and I'm ready to share our experience with more homes.

How can we help you in the kitchen?
