“EVERYTHING TASTES BETTER WITH LOVE!I am more than a chef. I am the Food Alchemist! I use Food Alchemy to curate meals that are intricately designed to satiate the mind, body and soul. What is Food Alchemy?By definition, alchemy is the process of taking something ordinary and transforming it into something extraordinary. Merriam Webster says it’s:“a power or process that changes or transforms something in a mysterious or impressive way.”Therefore, Food Alchemy is harnessing a combination of intentional ingredients and masterful cooking techniques that when used together restore, heal and nourish in a way that creates a balanced harmony of each culinary element."I am a third-generation Californian, so my “flavor” is fresh, sustainable, and pretty much farm to table! I combine a mastery of West Coast staples with local, seasonal, and organic ingredients, all infused with my love of spices from around the globe. In doing so, I am able to curate EXPERIENCES with food that resonate past the point of consumption. And I do it with the master ingredient: love…What About the EXPERIENCES?...My food is truly more than just food. I like to describe my dishes as fuel for the soul. As a mother of two, my cooking is deeply rooted in maternal love. My love for food extends to the food I prepare and to the care with which I serve my clients. I don't just feed you physically, I am well equipped to nourish you spiritually and mentally, as I make it a point to share my extensive knowledge of nutrition and the healing magic of food. I somehow bring back the elegance, mouthwatering presentation.
