TasteBuds Personal Chef Service LLC is a personal chef and catering business that grew out of owner Linda Gauvry’s desire to prepare fresh, nutritious, and customized meals for her clients.
Linda graduated from the Pennsylvania State University with a Master’s Degree in Nutrition. She began her career working in several local community nutrition programs, but soon realized that she was happiest in the kitchen, creating meals for family and friends. Linda started TasteBuds in 2012 with the goal of helping her clients achieve their dietary goals while enjoying delicious meals created just for them in their own kitchens. Her background in nutrition gives her a unique advantage in customizing meals for clients with food allergies, restrictions, or specific diet needs.
In 2022, TasteBuds moved into a commercial kitchen space and began expanding the business to delivery of prepared meals to local clients, as well as small group and corporate caterings. Today, TasteBuds has a staff of experienced chefs who love to plan and create delicious customized meals for our clients!
Linda and her husband Steve live in Mechanicsburg with their three children. As a wife and mom of an active family, Linda is quite familiar with the “dinner dilemma” that her clients face! Managing meals for a busy household while trying to achieve health goals is a challenge, and Linda is glad to be able to use her experience to help TasteBuds’ clients!
"Incredibly convenient, delicious, and time saving. Linda and her team do a great job giving our family interesting and healthier-than-takeout options when time is tight in our schedules. We are always impressed by the quality and consistency in every meal. Accommodating and flexible to whatever you would like in your menu and will deliver for family style or individual servings to maximize convenience."

"I got in touch on Facebook messenger and she quickly replied to see what I was looking for. With three kids in the house and working full time, it was getting harder to have balanced meals on the table. She always provides a diverse menu and each and every meal is PHENOMENAL!! I am blown away every week by the taste and quality of the meals. 100% recommend!"
