redpeppandparm brings restaurant-quality hospitality to your home. As a michelin-trained culinary graduate, Chef Issy handles every detail from initial menu design and ingredient sourcing to cooking and pristine kitchen cleanup. Whether an intimate dinner party or large birthday celebration, each experience is intentionally crafted with seasonality in mind.

Chef Issy took quite a unique path towards food. After graduating with her economics degree from the University of Georgia and years in the oil and gas industry, she decided to pursue her true passion (and gift): cooking. While working her 9-to-5, Chef Issy took night classes and earned her culinary arts degree from the Culinary Institute Lenotre, where she became proficient in classical French cuisine. She then spent a summer in the South of France, cooking in a kitchen in Nice. She has collaborated with premium ingredient brands to create content around luxury, seasonal ingredients. Today, she runs redpeppandparm, which includes private cheffing, dinners, parties, meal prepping, events, and bespoke orders. In tandem, she works in one of Houston’s most acclaimed Michelin restaurants, further growing her skillset.
