Marcie McCutchen's life changed in the winter of 1994, when she viewed a segment about personal chefs on a popular TV morning show. A college student pursuing a court reporting degree, she realized her true calling was in the culinary arts; so, she quickly changed course and stirred up a hot new career. Since childhood Marcie has been passionate about cooking and collecting recipes. She treasures memories of cooking up family favorites with both of her Grandmothers and parents. She now has recipes from both Grandmothers personal collections and truly believes they passed on their love of cooking to her.

Less than three years later, business was booming for
this enthusiastic self-taught chef. During the first five years, Marcie
cooked in each client's home, bringing everything from her collection of
pots and pans to a briefcase full of spices. As her client list steadily
increased, she decided to make the jump to a commercial kitchen. In January
of 2001, Marcie moved into her former location in Stafford. As business
grew steadily, it became necessary to find a larger location as they added
catering services to the line up. In April of 2005 Chef for You moved to
their current location in Sugar Land.

Marcie served as President of the local chapter of the
U.S. Personal Chef Association for five years and has been a mentor and
trainer to many others in the field. She has been featured in numerous publications
such as the Houston Chronicle, Fort Bend Lifestyle and Homes, Personal Chef
Magazine, Upclose Magazine, and her recipes have been published in the USPCA'S
recipe books. Chef for You has been a member of the U.S. Personal Chef Association
since 1994 and has been a member of the Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce since
2002.

In January of 2003, Marcie launched her spa menu and
was invited to introduce the service on ABC Channel 13 in Houston. "The
spa meals started out as an experiment and have been so well received that
I often wonder why I waited so long to offer them," says Marcie who consults
with a personal trainer. She says, "We have found that the low-fat meals
and personalized workouts go hand in hand, and we have a lot of the same
clients. We are helping people reach their fitness and nutrition goals."

Marcie resides in Sugar Land, about 1 mile from "the
kitchen" with her husband, Glenn, and black and tan cocker spaniel,
Tanner. She enjoys spending time working in her herb and flower gardens
and considers working out at the gym and at home her part-time job! To hone
her skills, she frequently provided assistance to some of her favorite chefs
who taught classes at Le Panier Cooking School in Houston, which has since
closed. She considers the owner of the school, LaVerl Daily, her mentor.
Marcie was asked to assist LaVerl in her cooking classes soon after launching
her business. There she became aquatinted with and also assisted two of
her favorite chefs, Hugh Carpenter of Napa Valley and Terry Conlan, of Lake
Austin Spa Resort when they came to teach at Le Panier. "I will be always
be grateful to LaVerl for allowing me the opportunity to work with her and
her instructors," said Marcie.
