🏆 Chef Emmanuelle Caumont 🏆
Top 5 Favorite Chef 2026
Classically Trained French Chef & Culinary Artisan in Las Vegas & Phoenix
Originally from France, I was classically trained at the Hotel Restaurant Management School in Toulouse. Growing up in the heart of the restaurant world, culinary arts have been my lifelong passion. After owning a successful restaurant, Celebrity' s and catering company, Slim Chef, in the San Francisco Bay Area, I founded the Emmanuelle International Gourmet Organization (EIGO) to bring five-star immersive dining experiences straight to your home.
I believe that great cooking is medicine for both the body and the soul. My health-conscious signature style focuses on creating decadent, globally-inspired dishes that are thoughtfully crafted to have healthy fat, low sugar and salt without sacrificing rich flavor. Whether hosting an intimate dinner party in Summerlin, Las Vegas, or an interactive cooking class in Ahwatukee, Phoenix, I curate bespoke menus tailored perfectly to your lifestyle.
Over my two decades of international experience, I have been honored with multiple first-place titles at the Tri-Valley Culinary Excellence Awards and recognized as a Top 5 National Favorite Chef Finalist in 2026. Beyond private dining, I design high-volume corporate team-building events, spectacular chocolate workshops, and cutting-edge molecular gastronomy experiences across Nevada and Arizona.
Awards: First Place at the Tri-Valley Bay Area in 2001, 2002, and 2003 for her Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Raspberry Pork, and Salmon Mousse, took the 5th place in the Favorite Chef National Competition in 2026.
