Hi I'm Karli! I'm a full-service Private Chef that specializes in catering private events and dinner parties. I've spent the last eight years navigating the culinary industry to fulfill my passion of serving personally unique dining experiences. Over the past ten years, I cooked for private catering companies,  hotels, restaurants and even a private country club.  Through the course of my work, I've collected a wealth of food knowledge that has helped me emerge with a dynamic cooking style that's able to thrive in any changing environment.

Over the past couple years, my passion for cooking up memorable experiences has grown into what is now known as Krafted By Karli. My passion is my food, and my food is my brand. And I enjoy consistently proving it by what I bring to the table. No matter how big or small, I take the utmost pride in every bite that I serve. From snacks to feasts, I tailor the dining experience to the individual desires of each of my clients. Contact me today to request and schedule a Krafted By Karli event. You deserve a meal that's worth talking about.

Private Chef & Catering across Long Island, NYC & Miami

KRAFTED BY KARLI

Karli has over 10 years of cooking experience as a restaurateur, caterer, and a food service manager. She was trained at the College of Culinary Arts at Johnson & Wales University located in Providence, Rhode Island. While receiving her degree, she chose to double major in both Baking & Pastry and the Culinary Arts. During this time, she quickly gained experience working in multiple restaurants, as she not only mastered the kitchen but also worked the front of the house. For multiple years, Karli had the honor of working in kitchens that were run by renowned chefs including Danny Meyer, David Burke and Marc Murphy.

Nowadays, Karli has built out her own series of Private Chef services under her new brand and private catering company, Krafted By Karli. With close to a decade of experience under her belt, she's now successfully worked well over +150 private catering events, ranging in sizes from a table of 2 to parties with thousands of attendants. In addition to her previous training, Karli's culinary curiosity has helped her acquire a diverse set of cooking techniques, spanning from the art of pastries to silencing just about any type of dietary restriction. Her favorite meals to serve are the one's that make use of fresh local organic ingredients while leaving your stomach full and mind free of worry (besides wondering how she made that?!). 

Having grown up on Long Island, Karli frequently makes the trip from her city apartment back home to Suffolk County while serving vacationers and residents alike. Krafted by Karli always serves to please and certainly not only in the figurative sense. No matter how challenging of a request, she's more than comfortable coordinating and performing the work that is needed to make sure you focus on what's important - Hosting your friends and enjoying yourself throughout the course of an amazing meal.
