What’s your signature dish?
I do not have a signature dish, as any dish I make is signature, as it has my love, time, layers, attention in it. I have a love for creating Asian, American and Latin dishes, but can create something amazing from any cuisine known to man.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
I like to get to know my client and what they are looking for. Being aware of any allergies, likes and dislikes, eating habits and health ailments helps greatly with creating the perfect menu, while giving clients the opportunity to choose the menu that best suits their tastebuds.
What do you love most about your job?
I love giving people a different perception of vegan and gluten free food. It also brings me joy to hear about the improvements my clients have made in their diet and health with my help. Watching people engaging and bonding over my food further motivates me to keep going.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I discovered that cooking was a form of therapy for me. I was in the real estate industry crunching numbers, and it eventually became inconvenient, because all I could think about at work was bringing people together to enjoy food, cocktails and networking in my home. I was a new mom and my child inspired me to explore being the best version of myself by doing what makes me happy.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am passionate with personality and a strong love for food. I am always practicing and perfecting my craft to be the best chef and host that I can be. I enjoy accommodating people and their food needs so they continue to have a positive experience with my meals.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I offer remote classes at an affordable rate. I like to explore the client's goals and preferences so I can put together the most ideal menu for their enjoyment during the lesson. All new and vegan curious clients are welcome.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I have and always will take the most sanitary precautions with gloves and masks at hand during preparation. Hand washing and proper food packaging is important, alongside only those preparing food are permitted in the kitchen.
