Chef Janet Wilson, Ambrosia Personal Chef Service

Janet was raised in a family of strong, creative women including her mother, grandmothers, aunts, and several extended “family” members. She was doubly blessed by having a Dad who, having only daughters, instilled in them from an early age that they could do anything that their hearts could dream (as long as they went to college first!). Janet graduated from Long Island University in 1985 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Marine Biology with a minor in Secondary Education. Janet enthusiastically dove into her first career as a teacher of high school sciences. She spent 14 years working with students from 6th through 12th grades, in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Along the way she dabbled in the travel industry, and the hospitality industry. Her parents purchased a Bed and Breakfast Inn and Restaurant in the 80’s and the entire family became immersed in all aspects of Hospitality. Going home to visit now meant calling ahead to see if there was a room available. Once you were Home, helping with meals, room cleaning, gardening, serving, and cheffing were simply part of the visit – if it needed to be done, Janet learned how to do it.

When Janet met and married her husband, Dan, she began to put her entertaining skills to work on friends and family. Janet found that she had a real knack for planning, organizing and preparing a wonderful party, be it large or small. She would often look for an excuse to fill their home with the joyful sounds of friends and family, whether it was a holiday, birthday, or no occasion at all. Three years ago Janet realized that as much as she truly love education, and felt that she was born to teach, there were other things she needed to accomplish for herself. Janet began to search for her next career. She had a lot of starts and stops before discovering the career of Personal Chef in an article on MSN.com just two years ago. Janet did her research, but knew from the beginning that this felt right. Janet contacted PCN, received her materials in June 2001, and today she is an experienced PC getting her business off the ground, and making a new name for herself in her community.

Janet proudly offers a wide variety of services to her clients including an array of Complete Dinner Packages, Grilling Packages, Premium Fresh Dinner Service, Grocery Replenishment Services, Pantry Organization Services, Dinner Party Services, Murder Mystery Dinner Parties, Tea Parties, Bridal Brunch/Breakfast Service, In-Home Baking Services, and In-Home Cooking Lessons. Janet works hard to live by the Golden Rule, and constantly strives for impeccable personalized service.

Janet has worked very hard with marketing, and is always working on at least one new marketing concept. She has participated in a Rotary Club Wine Tasting Events, in the local Chamber “Taste of Greater Salem” event, hosted a Chamber Business After Hours networking evening, and donated gift certificates to the Big Brothers, Big Sisters Auction, and other special fundraisers. She has made several public appearances including speaking at local Rotary Club meetings, regular appearances on WMUR-TV Channel 9 out of Manchester, NH, and teaching Adult Enrichment classes at her local High School. Janet has recently created an informational Client Newsletter, and is finalizing scripts for her own local cable T.V. program. She is VERY excited about this one!

Janet’s new career has allowed her to get out there and show the world what she’s got, while helping lots of busy people to relax and enjoy life and eat healthy, lovingly created meals. The support of her husband, family, friends, and PCN has allowed her to explore her creative and culinary talents as she grows her PC business.
