Chef in Austin, Texas

One whose love language is food and chosen passion is to share holistic wellness with community. I have six years of professional chef experience in both private homes and commercial kitchens. Four years of training in non-violent communication, compassionate communication and empathy. A deep passion for culture has brought me around the world spending five months living in India developing my culinary creativity and yoga. During my stay in India, I began learning and studying Ayurveda practices and continue many of them in my daily routine. I have worked with food non-profits whose mission is a farm-to-table philosophy, educating youth, and community outreach. Managed alternative diets and provided nutritional consultation for a staff of 60 and 100 guest. I have experience planning weekly menus, three meals a day-six days a week for one-hundred and sixty people with a focus on alternative diets and using organic/seasonal ingredients. My specialty is as a alternative diet chef whose mission is to share whole-foods based on the needs of the individual. I have worked with families whom have multiple anaphylactic food reactions, behavior management through food, allergens, and preferences. I would develop menu options for these families/staff that meet the specific needs of the individual. I love sharing, exploring and learning with others. I hope to learn with you! Mahalo
