Anuschka’s Kitchen was started in 2013 by Anuschka Schurr. Her love for the culinary arts began as a young child heavily influenced by the various cuisines being prepared and served at the family’s dinner table. While in high school, her career in the hospitality industry and early management began to flourish.

Anuschka’s official culinary arts education and hospitality training began at Johnson and Wales University located in Providence, Rhode Island and was followed by her schooling at the Colorado State University Restaurant and Resort Management Program. Throughout her schooling and thereafter, she was led into varying forays in the hospitality and culinary industry with experiences in quick service, fine dining, private clubs, and specialty establishments.  She learned that she loved all of it and that perhaps transitioning to a career as a personal chef would let her bring all of her tools and experiences to the table.

In 2015, John Hensley, her then partner, now husband, joined the team.  It seemed like a great fit as he too had been in the hospitality industry for many years.  He was a trained chef through the American Culinary Federation and Louisiana Restaurant Association.  He had embarked on his hospitality adventures also while in high school.  John held jobs in both front and back of the house management in all manner of establishments.  Not least of which was bringing the Margaritaville concept to New Orleans, Louisiana, which then led to consulting assignments at Lulu’s Sunset Grille in Alabama and Margaritaville in Key West, Florida.

This husband and wife teams vast experience in the hospitality industry helps them relate to their clients and has refined their ability to handle challenges with high energy and organization. Their experience and education with dietary restrictions, specializations, and supplementations makes them a great fit for just about anyone wanting to enjoy the experience of a privately prepared dinner in their own home. They have also learned to prepare cuisines of varying ethnicities, are well traveled, and have an overall zest for life.
