Chef Gina, as we know her, is a California native and one of the hardest working women in hospitality. Through her private chef business Malibu Seaside Chef, Gina has created incredible dining experiences for top tier brands including NASA and Barbie, and a whole galaxy of stars \u2013 everyone from Barbra Streisand to Justin Bieber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we were planning Gathar&#8217;s US launch, we knew we needed to find an ambassador who really understood the ambitions of local chefs and appetites of hosts across Los Angeles. We couldn&#8217;t think of anyone better suited to the task than Chef Gina, and we&#8217;re excited for you to get to know her here. Let&#8217;s meet the chef behind the apron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You weren\u2019t always a private chef \u2013 how did Malibu Seaside Chef come about?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I was a model for over 20 years and modeled all over the world. I thought to myself: \u2018I\u2019m getting older &#8211; what can I do to pay the bills?\u2019 I love animals and thought maybe I could be a vet, but that takes a lot of studying. Luckily, I also love to cook! I\u2019d been exposed to so many flavors and so many cuisines traveling all over the world.<br><br>I started working with Wolfgang Puck in Malibu at his restaurant, Granita, and started catering with him. We catered for the Kardashians and at all these high end properties, and I thought: wow, this is something I\u2019d really like to do \u2013 not work in a restaurant, but be a private chef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cfrqj33haHd\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

I\u2019d start by getting dietary restrictions, the address, the time\u2026 The client and I would make the menu and then I\u2019d organize my team, including my server and my assistant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then we\u2019d start ordering the different proteins and ingredients we\u2019d need. I arrive hours before to start making the food and get all the finer details ready for the event.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ve catered for some amazing people and brands \u2013 what\u2019s one event that really stands out for you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I just had the Beach Boys and Foreigner at a private concert in Malibu for 150 people. That was a really awesome event, so fun to watch them play live right there. I had a great menu and it was a great turn out.<br><br>I also worked for U2 for two months. I love U2 \u2013 it was the first concert I ever went to and I had them for every single day for two months straight. They were some of the realest, coolest people I ever worked for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gathar.com\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=meet-gina\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gathar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Blog-Banner-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gathar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Blog-Banner-1.png 820w, https:\/\/www.gathar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Blog-Banner-1-480x102.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 820px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the most popular dish you create that people always rave about?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For sure my lamb chops, they\u2019re number one. My clients from all over the world \u2013 serious lamb lovers, even my Greek friends \u2013 say \u2018Your lamb chops are the best!\u2019&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do this special sweet chilli sauce with mint and cilantro and lime juice. I call it \u2018crack sauce\u2019 and it\u2019s some of the best sauce you\u2019ll ever have. You could put it on anything \u2013 you could put it on a piece of paper and want to eat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Any chance you\u2019ll share the recipe with us?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely! I love teaching this recipe at any cooking class because it\u2019s easy, people can remember it, and you\u2019ll never want to forget it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gathar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Gathar-LA-Shoot-6-9-22-KD-84-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1089\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gathar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Gathar-LA-Shoot-6-9-22-KD-84-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.gathar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Gathar-LA-Shoot-6-9-22-KD-84-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let\u2019s talk about your partnership with Gathar. When Gathar was first introduced to you, what did you think?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First I thought: \u2018wow, I wish I\u2019d thought of this!\u2019 And then I thought: this is perfect for chefs. It takes the admin out of the process. My husband does my admin! For a chef, it\u2019s hard to do because most chefs are creative and it\u2019s a whole other world to be on the computer and do all the paperwork. Gathar takes that out of the equation for the chef, which lets them just be creative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You often call out to other chefs in your community to sign up and cook with Gathar. What do you think are some of the benefits Gathar offers to chefs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, when I started out 18 years ago, it was hard to get the client. Gathar is already bringing the client to you, and as a personal chef this is one of the hardest parts. You need advertising to get the client to come to you.&nbsp;Gathar brings the client to the chef so they can focus on the food. That\u2019s the best part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CeoqaZtp98L\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
