Fractional Corporate Chef & Culinary Operations Consultant

(formerly Chef Maira Isabel, SVC’s → now CMI Culinary Group, LLC)

 

What began over 25 years ago as Chef Maira Isabel, SVC’s — a boutique culinary studio offering specialized services to local and international brands — has evolved into CMI Culinary Group, LLC, now operating fully remote and serving clients across the United States and worldwide.

 

Today, I continue to lead select projects through a fractional corporate chef model, supporting brands with culinary strategy, menu development, and operational systems. This approach allows me to bring enterprise‑level expertise to teams that need high‑impact culinary leadership, creative direction, or operational clarity on a project or retainer basis.

My dedication to the craft and commitment to excellence have led me to collaborate with extraordinary companies across multiple industries. Whether the project is intimate or enterprise‑scale, my approach remains the same: thoughtful, strategic, and grounded in real‑world execution.

 

Services include: • Food Styling (including special effects) • Prop Styling • Food Photography • Menu Engineering • Recipe & Product Development • Restaurant Re‑Design • Restaurant Marketing & Branding • Brand Ambassador & Media Representation • Culinary Training (English & Spanish, FOH & BOH).

If you’re building, refining, or reimagining a culinary experience, I’d love to be part of your next chapter.
