About our Chefs

Shana Larsen
President & Founder

Chef Shana Larsen, President and founder of Ready, Set, Eat!, has been passionate about food and cooking throughout her entire life. A native Portlander, some of her earliest memories are of the explosions of flavor she experienced as her mom often cooked exotic foods. Naturally, she followed in her mother’s footsteps experimenting with a wide range of new and exciting ingredients as well as dishes from many parts of the world.

Before her formal culinary training, Shana had the opportunity to study abroad in Guadalajara, Mexico while earning her Biology Degree from Pacific Lutheran University. And, you guessed it… her daily exposure to AUTHENTIC Mexican food during her travels revived the idea of a career in the Culinary Arts.

While working in Seattle as a cancer research technician, Chef Shana couldn’t ignore her passion for food any longer. She enrolled in the Culinary Arts Program at the Art Institute of Seattle. With her culinary training completed, she moved back to Portland and launched Ready, Set, Eat! Inc. Personal Chef Service.

With her background in science and understanding of how the body works, Shana is uniquely positioned to cater to and craft menus for specialty diets. This can include food allergies (gluten/wheat, casein/dairy, or individual ingredients) or medical conditions (such as diabetes, high cholesterol, etc). Chef Shana also has experience incorporating nutritional recommendations from registered dieticians, doctors, personal trainers and nutritionists into menus, allowing for clients to receive the correct allocation of calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat in their menu based on their lifestyle.

Chef Shana’s commitment is to provide healthy, nutritionally-balanced meals to busy individuals, couples and families, saving them time, energy and money.

Shana has served two years as a Past-President, one year as a Board Member and is currently in the her second year as a Treasurer of the Women Entrepreneurs of Oregon, (WEO). She is also a member of the United States Personal Chef Association.
