My Cooking Style

As a vegan chef, my intuition is guided by the seasons. Pretty Peach Gazpachos are a mainstay in the summer, delicious Delicata in the fall. Winter brings magnificent hearty soups, and spring awakens with amazing avocado & pea tartines.

My food is colorful, inventive, full of flavor and highly nutritious.

My Culinary Experience

I'm a professional personal chef. I cook for people in their homes and offer meal delivery. I've also worked in a restaurant, in the pastry kitchen.I am primarily self-taught. I've taken cooking classes all around the world. I attended the Institute for Integrative Nutrition where I deepened my understanding of how food affects our total health; and through that program I received my professional certification as a holistic health coach.

I have never been one for vegan cuisine. I've had my share of tempeh and meat wannabee substances. That's why when a vegan friend invited me to lunch with Jenné , I wasn't sure what excuse to give. But now, looking back, I'm glad I couldn't think of one. Because, the meal we shared, I kid you not, was one of the best meals this group of friends and I have eaten together. Ginger Marinated Portabello mushrooms and and melt-in-your-mouth buckwheat soba. I don't even have words to explain how Jenné has made this dish my new comfort food. Not to mention, Jenné's presence is the kind that lights up the room, so I don't know yall, I'm kinda considering veganism...well not really, but I'd definitely book Jenné to do a hearty meal for my traditionally meat eating family.
