From founder Chef Natalie Allesee:
I have worked as a Chef for 15 years in various restaurants around the Twin Cities. I am classically trained (Le Cordon Bleu), but garnered the majority of my knowledge from working for various high profile (and James Beard Nominated) Chefs in MN. I have worked in fine dining & casual restaurants, and have a passion for curating menus specifically to the guests palate. Hyper-local, low waste cooking is what has always driven me creatively, and whole vegetable, vegetarian focused meals are my specialty. I use heritage grains, locally sourced produce & and upcycling ingredients in order to align cooking with my values. Whatever waking moments I have not reading about/cooking food, I am hiking/foraging/enjoying the beauty of MN.

Chef Natalie created such a special evening for our family! Her calm, professional presence made everyone feel instantly comfortable, and she took care of every detail so we could truly enjoy being together. The food was beautifully prepared, and the entire experience felt thoughtful, effortless, and celebratory. Were so grateful for the experience and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for something truly memorable.

We had Natalie out for a private pasta-making class at Charlson Meadows at our nonprofit staff retreat. It was a fantastic experience; it was a great teambuilding activity, working in groups to make fresh pasta, and then after the class, Natalie served us a delicious 3-course meal. She brought everything with her that we needed and also was great at accommodating allergies. I highly recommend Rowan & Dough!

Natalie is amazing. I didn't hire her, but a family member did for Thanksgiving, a surprise birthday, and Christmas. Each time was awesome; from attention to detail for the grazing tables, to the setup, to being mindful of ingredients and sourcing from local businesses, it's well thought out. She's also great to talk to and kind! From her experience to likeable personality, I'm not just happy to have had the pleasure of her service, but I'm happy to have met her as well. I'm sure we'll all see you again soon! Thank you for your hard work, Natalie!
