I employed Chef Kyla as a chef instructor at my cooking school in Forest Park (just outside of Chicago) for almost a year. To the dismay of many of our customers & myself, she left our area to move to Seattle (we were very sad!). We hired her as a specialty chef to teach ayurvedic, vegan, vegetarian & certain healthy cooking classes. She taught ~5-6 classes for us a month. I steadfastly recommend her services as a chef & an instructor, without hesitation! Chef Kyla is talented, kind, incredibly knowledgeable & caring. She has a passion for her craft, but is not the type to judge if you are not practicing veganism, etc. I have very high standards for my teaching chefs & she rose the occasion on every front - concerned with learning, presenting dishes in an approachable way & also open to constructive feedback. She's an excellent chef, creative with dishes (& allergies & dietary issues) & practices what she believes in. We will greatly miss her here in Chicago but are extremely happy that she will be sharing her talents in Seattle. I would welcome her back to teach at my school (in business for 12 years) anytime!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Chef Kyla you're the BEST. Our family has suffered with all sorts of medical maladies for so long, and it was Chef Kyla that taught us how to improve our diets. It's wonderful to see how our health is improving and we LOVE the delicious foods that we now eat. And, yes Chef, your vegan, gluten free, soy free chocolate cake is the best cake we've EVER eaten! Wonderful surprise for my husband's birthday. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and being so patient we us. You're the BEST!

My company hired Chef Kyla three times to cater internal events with vegan dishes. Great job. Great food. The best part was Chef Kyla doing a little educating about her recipes; I think it surprised a lot of people how good vegan food really is and not as intimidating to prepare as many may have thought.

Chef Kyla catered a party of mine hosted at my home with 30 guests, and everything was perfect! She created a vegan Mexican menu packed with all the regulars including quesadillas, stuffed jalapenos, tamales, empanandas, guacamole and fresh salads. The Mexican hot chocolate cupcakes were to die for! Our guests didn't even realize that the entire menu was vegan. In addition to the delicious food, Chef Kyla's service went above and beyond. Everything was prepared exactly as requested and neatly labeled for guests. She was also happy to answer any and all questions guests had. The party was spectacular thanks to Chef Kyla.

Kyla is an amazing chef and person. She has transformed my family's eating habits and health. We have learned so much about whole food plant-based diets. We have more energy, feel better, and have lost weight as well. We can't say enough good things about Kyla. She is more like a member of the family, than our personal chef!
