Chef Donna B

Donna Binbek is the Chef/Owner of Simply Food Chicago Personal Chef Service. Her love of food and cooking began as a teen; assisting her father in the kitchen of his taco stand & candy store businesses and helping her mother plan parties for family and friends. Many years later, after working in the corporate world, and starting her own family; the culinary bug bit once again so Donna enrolled and trained at Chicago's Kendall College of Culinary Arts, and she started her Hospitality career as a Garde Manger then quickly moving up to line cook at the famous Gordon's Restaurant in downtown Chicago. Following her stint at Gordon's, Donna realized she wanted to go in business for herself and cook the cuisine she wanted and loved to make, so she started her own catering and personal chef service. Now, she happily prepares the foods she loves for clients, family and friends, and also gives cooking instruction and assists in wine consultations. Though her first love will always be cooking and hospitality, Donna enjoys being behind the scene, photographing food, wine and social events when working with her lifestyle photography company, Donna Binbek Photography.
