About
I have been creating culinary designs for over 20 years and I am committed to bringing colorful presentations to the plate. With a background in farm to table cuisine I believe you can marry health with deliciousness. I have served many famous artists in my career when specializing in backstage catering. I have traveled and set up my kitchen for many outdoor festivals and events on the west coast and have been a guest chef at Reggae on the River in Humboldt County. These days the Exotic Food Goddess specializes in Personal Chef services, creating a line of vegan specialty sauces, and am working on developing the ’Temple of Bliss’, a food truck serving the Bay Area with my farm to table creations, to be launched soon.
I love seeing people smile and feel fulfilled with every meal. It's all about invoking taste, through your senses, I enjoy watching people react to the layers of flavors in my food.
