Introduction: My strengths are in my ability to create a wide variety of bold, rich and deeply satisfying flavors using all fresh ingredients. My Vegetarian meals are also loved and appreciated by Vegetarians and non Vegetarians alike. I truly love serving and sharing with others and good food is something that all people can love and appreciate. I love making people happy.

I have been blessed to experience Hyson's fabulous cooking in several venues. The first time was Julia's restaurant in Pacific Grove where he was the chef that evening and designed the entire menu. The food was delicious and creative. In addition Hyson added a personal touch by coming out to our table to ensure we were having a great dining experience. He is very conscientious when it comes to his customers.I have also seen Hyson cater to large events. The reaction from these varied groups was always very positive and that the food was delicious and very creative. Many of the participants were not even vegetarian but they all raved about the great food. He is also very relaxed in the kitchen and creates a fun atmosphere. He also has the ability to be very flexible and creative as most large catering events all have their unique challenges of location, space and timing.Finally, he has the unique ability, as do all great chefs, to create dishes without a cookbook, but rather using feel and intuition and taste. The end result is his creations are always delicious, different and healthy.

Hyson makes healthy vital food actually taste amazing. So many times healthy food is so bland or tired. With Hyson, the food is vital and fresh and fun and yummy and innovative.

FAQs

How did you get started doing this type of work?
It chose me!
What types of customers have you worked with?
My favorite types of jobs are healthy retreat cooking or small intimate dinner parties But I have worked with a wide range of clients numbering from 5 - 350. I have had the pleasure of cooking personally for a number of celebrities such as Kid Cudi, Alanis Morissette, John Cleese and Pink Floyds Drummer Nick Mason. But all my clients are treated as celebrities and no one has been left anything less than amazed and fully satisfied.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I cooked breakfast lunch and dinner for 40 men on a weekend retreat. They were all meat and potatoes type of guys but were all won over by how good and fresh the food tasted. Even though there were more vegetables than they were used to, nobody missed having a little less heavy meat.
