Candy Wallace has devoted more than 45 years to the foodservice industry

She has served as a commercial chef, caterer, personal chef, private chef, teacher, author, speaker, mentor and, for the past 23 years, founder and executive director of the American Personal & Private Chef Association and its educational arm, the American Personal & Private Chef Institute. Wallace combined her years of experience at the stove with her experience in the corporate world to create an educational channel that allows culinarians to pursue a career as business owners who cook for multiple clients in non-traditional venues. And to create and promote viable alternative career paths for professional culinarians in today’s changing world.

Her contributions to both the personal- and private-chef sectors of the foodservice industry have elevated the awareness and stature of each segment. Accordingly, Wallace—more than any other icon in foodservice—has helped to establish the validity and esteem of each career path.
