Personal Chef Anita F Benton is a native of Hattiesburg, Mississippi where she is the youngest of four children.  Anita's passion and love of cooking began at an early age when her mother would pull a chair up to the kitchen counter so Anita could assist her with baking and daily meal preparations. Anita learned to read a measuring cup long before she could read a book.  Anita realized that she was a really good cook and an even better baker when she entered a 4-H baking competition in the fourth grade and won the First Place Blue Ribbon for her Whipped Cream Pound Cake.

Anita is a 1996 graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi and a former student of the esteemed Chef John Folse Culinary Institute at Nicholls State University in Thibodeux, Louisiana.  She also studied at the well-known French Culinary School, L'Academie de Cuisine, located in Gaithersburg, Maryland.  Anita is also a graduate of the United States Personal Chef Institute.

Anita is a trained personal chef but has decided to focus on desserts and pastries, because this is where her heart and passion lie.

Services include customized customized dessert packages, cooking/baking classes, dessert receptions, themed dessert parties, and customized/personalized food favors.
