About
Being a leader and giving back to my community is why I started cooking. “Genuine love and passion for food is contagious.” So through Chef Life NW I get to express myself and pass on my love and passion for food. Everything I do is to help me be a better chef. Being a kitchen manager helps me be a better business owner, which helps me be a better teacher and leader. I focus on doing things the right way and building lasting relationships through food!

Chef Tay did an amazing job catering our wedding. He was a savor to us as our previous caterer cancled only a week before our wedding day. Chef tay showed up with a smile on and helped to make our day so special. He is professional, communicative, and over all such a nice guy. Our food was delicious, our guests were pleased as so were we. We had a wonderful experience and we would work with Chef Tay again in a heartbeat!

I use the Healthy Meal Prep service and it's the best decision I've made on my health journey!! Let Tay do the prep for you!!!
I have a smoothie for breakfast, a salad for lunch and Tay's deliciously prepared meal for dinner!! And when I say delicious, I mean DELICIOUS!!
Doing this helped me break my 204 to 208 pound cycle and am now at 198!!! Using this service is convenient and perfect for someone
Thank you, Chef!!!
