Chef Ava

Crafting Culinary Magic, One Plate at a Time

After years in the restaurant industry, I realized the importance of a personal connection to food and community. Inspired by alternative lifestyles and my experiences on organic farms worldwide, I've found my passion in cooking as a means of creation, experimentation, and healing.

Mission

My mission is simple: to craft flavorful, wholesome meals that honor the abundance of the world around us. Through my work, I aim to inspire others to embrace a more conscious way of living, one delicious bite at a time.

Background

With an Degree in Sustainable Farms and Food and a background in multi media arts, I bring a unique perspective to the culinary world. Years of working in the restaurant industry taught me technical skills as well as having given me an understanding of the importance of relationships in our food system and between one another. Through hands-on experience and self-guided learning, I've honed my skills to create culinary delights that celebrate flavor and food as medicine.

Approach

My approach begins from a place of curiosity. The more I learn about my clients and their circumstances, the better experience I can curate. Building a personal connection allows me make thoughtful decisions from a creative point of view. While it's essential for me to find out why you gravitate towards plant-based food and the reason for your interest in a personal chef service, I'm also intrigued by your preferences, such as favorite colors and environments, cherished memories around food, and distinct likes and dislikes.  Similarly, by observing our local ecosystem, I can find ways to express gratitude for the ever-changing seasons, weather patterns and produce cycles by reflecting them in my food. I believe that eating intentionally can foster a sense of belonging and connection to the greater world around us.
