Vegan Mediterranean Culinary Services

Greetings and Welcome to my culinary world! 

I’m a self-taught vegan Mediterranean chef, French Pastry Chef, culinary & wine pairing instructor and event caterer. 

Everyone has a story and mine is rather inspirational and worth telling. My journey to the creation of Lavender Design + Cuisine began in 2011 when I decided to leave a highly successful career in high tech sales spanning 20 years. It was time to pursue my lifelong dream. Since then, it has been an amazing and rewarding experience. I'm immeasurably grateful to do what I love thanks to my wonderful personal chef & catering clients and awesome cooking & wine pairing classes students. They are the center of my culinary world and a great inspiration.  

I offer the following services throughout Santa Cruz County and the South Bay:

1) Personal Chef Services featuring Vegan Mediterranean Cuisine (French, Italian, Spanish & Moroccan)

2) Private In-Home Vegan Mediterranean Cooking & Wine Pairing Classes for individuals, couples and groups (minimum 5 people, maximum 10)

3) Culinary Team Building-Corporate Vegan Mediterranean Cooking Classes

4) Chocolate & Wine Pairing Events at Local Wineries 

5) Vegan Mediterranean Catering (French, Italian, Spanish & Moroccan) for all occasions up to 15 people

Please contact me to learn more about any of these featured services and to take the first step.
