VALENCIA, CA (PRWEB) November 3, 2004 -- Los Angeles County residents can now entertain at home in the same culinary style that has Californians returning from cruises with exciting stories of fabulous food and gracious entertaining. Elena Vakhrenova, author of Cruising Cuisine for Home Entertaining (2003, $29.95) and personal chef, has relocated from Florida to the Santa Clarita Valley and is introducing an exclusive at-home personal chef service that features cruise line-style recipes and presentations perfect for the at-home entertaining that is at the heart of southern Californias casual lifestyle.
With almost more Californians cruising than from any other state, its natural that people want to entertain at home with the same style they have experienced at sea," says Vakhrenova, a veteran of more than eight years at sea herself. After publishing a successful cookbook, she developed a personal chef service that became a favorite from cruise-conscious Ft. Lauderdale to image-conscious West Palm Beach. Its been fun bringing our Cruising Cuisine attitude to bridal showers and formal dinners, and from cooking demonstrations to martini parties," says Vakhrenova with a smile. Now, being close to the west coast capital of cruising, I look forward to introducing new clients to a way of entertaining that is perfect for the California lifestyle, and just in time for a holiday season!"
With her new California home-based test kitchen equipped with recently-introduced upscale Electrolux Icon series of kitchen appliances, Chef Elena says that she can tailor an event for any occasion. From pre-holiday book signings to test kitchen recipes or a dinner party catered by a personal chef – there is something for everyone," says Chef Elena.
