Chef Amy Churchill
founder of À la Chef
Thank you for visiting À la Chef. After many wonderful years serving families throughout the Atlanta area, I am currently not accepting new personal chef clients.
If you are looking for a personal chef, I’m happy to connect you with trusted professionals who may be able to help.
A Personal Chef You Can Trust
For more than two decades, I’ve had the privilege of serving families throughout Atlanta as a personal chef. What began as a passion for cooking and caring for others grew into a career I’ve loved since 2003.
Being invited into someone’s home is deeply personal. Over the years, I’ve built lasting relationships with clients by creating meals tailored to their tastes, dietary needs, and busy lives.
My philosophy has always been simple: fresh ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and food that brings comfort and joy.
While I am not currently accepting new clients, I remain thankful for the many families I’ve served and the continued interest in personal chef services.

A Personal Thank You
Cooking for others has always meant more to me than simply preparing meals. It has been about caring for people — supporting families during busy seasons, helping bring comfort during difficult times, and creating space for connection around the table.
For more than two decades, I’ve been honored to serve so many families, celebrate milestones with them, and help make life a little easier through good food. The relationships built along the way are what I treasure most.
Being trusted in someone’s home is something I have never taken lightly. It has always been an honor.
Over the years, what has meant the most to me are not just the meals themselves, but the relationships built along the way — the conversations, the laughter, and the knowledge that something as simple as good food can bring peace and joy into a home.
While I’m not currently accepting new clients, I remain deeply grateful for the trust and support I’ve received over the years. If you’re looking for a personal chef, I hope you find someone who can bring the same care and attention to your family.
With gratitude,
Chef Amy Churchill

Tell me more about this nonprofit work you are so passionate about?
Just One Africa, founded in 2012 by my husband and I, is a nonprofit focused on equipping communities in East Africa with practical tools and opportunities that create lasting change. We partner with local leaders to implement sustainable solutions—like clean water access, education support, and economic empowerment initiatives—that improve health, restore dignity, and open doors for families to thrive.
A key part of this work is our water filter program, which provides families with simple, durable filtration systems that remove harmful bacteria and make unsafe water clean to drink—dramatically reducing waterborne illness. Rather than short-term aid, our approach is centered on long-term impact, walking alongside communities to help build a stronger, more self-sufficient future.
