Introduction: My mission is to provide beautiful, delicious, locally sourced, healthy meals and catering to busy people. You are what you eat. So why not eat beautifully? My point is, that same dedication I have to feeding myself, I am offering to you. I began in a French restaurant, in the pantry. Over the years I worked my way up to become an executive chef and also a private chef for prominent clients, as well as providing plant-based meals to a private school, a chef in a vegetarian restaurant/cafe, to catering for up to 60 people and more. I hold my CA food handlers certificate and am well-rounded in omnivore, vegetarian, vegan, and food sensitive diets. I have an insatiable passion for food. And I want to bring this passion to your plate. We all know these modern times have brought us convenience foods, fast food and grab-and-go food. They are full of chemicals, pesticides, nitrates and genetically modified ingredients. I am here to make you delicious, locally sourced meals that are free of all those. I enjoy using the finest, healthiest, organic local ingredients from California, and creating honest flavours that don't overwhelm their key ingredients. Great food is satisfying, and can truly change your mood and in time your overall health. I believe the old saying 'you are what you eat' is true. So why not eat purely, finely and beautifully? Feeling good is an inside job. And I'm here to help you.

I needed a chef for a dinner with family and close friends, and didn't want to (nor was I capable of ) cooking for 8 people. I found Susan on Thumbtack and what a great experience. We had some dietary requests such as the meal being dairy free.. Susan gave us some ideas/options, and after discussing what we liked the entire meal was amazing, great food family style. We had barbecued skirt steak with the most amazing chimichurri sauce, perfectly roasted fingerling potatoes, with salad, and vegetables and for desert personal fruits tarts with ice cream. Oh and to start, the most amazing curried butternut squash soup, just enough to get the taste buds going. I couldn't recommend Susan higher, everyone had a great time, super easy to deal with and such a great person. Thanks Susan, looking forward to next time.

Susan cooked for our farm this past week and it was great. She managed to cook beautiful meals out of basically-- a college dorm kitchen! She is solid, professional, organized, and her food was beautiful! She had so many colors and flavors. My favorite thing about Susan's meals were they weren't drenched in oil or salts. I would recommend Susan again & again! She and the food she prepared were loved by all! Plus she makes the world's best carrot cake!!
