Meredith Eriksen Named APCA Chef of the Year 2004

Personal Chef Summit 2004
Minneapolis, Minnesota
August 28, 2004

The Chef of the Year Award is granted to an APCA member each year by nomination of the membership. It is awarded to an active member who operates a successful business, participates in the Member’s Forums in support of other members, participates in Local Chapter activities as well as the Annual Summit and shares their knowledge and expertise in support of the association and the personal chef industry in general.

Commitment and participation are two of the contributions made to APCA by this year’s CHEF OF THE YEAR, but they are only a small part of what Meredith Eriksen brings to this organization. Passion, professionalism, integrity, talent, and joy in her career and her life are other contributions we are fortunate to receive from Meredith.

Meredith is not only President of the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of APCA, she also sits on the APCA National Advisory Committee and the Annual Summit Advisory Committee. Those of you who have read her posts on the Member’s Forums know that when you receive a response from Golden Goose, you will receive a Complete answer to your questions. Meredith has generously mentored numerous new APCA members in their efforts to start and operate successful personal chef businesses.

Meredith and her husband Tim, a naval historian, live in Kensington, MD with their two rescued greyhounds, Percy and Willow, and 5 cats.

Meredith operates Whisk For Hire Personal Chef Service in the Metropolitan D.C. area.
