Greetings!
I’m an interior designer, vegan Mediterranean
personal chef, caterer, culinary & wine pairing instructor and artisan
chocolatier.
Everyone has a story and mine is rather inspirational and
worth telling. My wonderful 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 clients and students. They are the center of my work and a great
inspiration. Click here to
view their beautiful testimonials!
I offer the following services throughout Santa Cruz County and
the South
Bay:
Interior Design with a focus on Feng Shui Principles
Staging a Home for Sale
Declutter Your Life Hands-on Workshops
Personal Chef Services featuring the preparation of organic,
seasonal, local and sustainable Vegan Mediterranean gourmet
cuisine. I create healthy and delicious meals tailored to your personal taste
right in your kitchen.
Private In-Home Vegan Mediterranean Cooking and Wine Pairing Class for
individuals, Couples and Groups (minimum 5 people, maximum 10), conducted in
your very own kitchen consists of a 4-course meal: appetizer, entrée,
salad and dessert, plus wine to pair with beautiful and exquiaite foods you
made. I'll come to your home to guide you and your group, through a
delightful afternoon or evening of cooking right in your very own
kitchen. The 4-hour class fee is $150.00 p/p and
includes all local organic ingredients. However, if you
assemble a group of 5 or more, your cost as the host will be waived. And, you
also get a lovely bottle of wine!
Chocolate Making Event for birthday parties
for children 10 years and up (minimum 5 children, maximum 10). In this very
hands-on event at your venue, children will make chocolate arts,
which are organic, vegan and sugar free. They’ll get to try
their chocolate arts and even gift wrap some of their lovely handmade
creations in exquisite packaging provided by me. Parties start at just
$175.00 for 5 children (each additional child is $25.00), which includes
everything necessary to have a super fun time that is ideal for photo and video
memories.
Culinary Team
Building-Corporate Cooking Classes: Hands-on interactive culinary team building classes are a fun
and effective way to create employee bonding experiences. The
classes encourage teamwork, enhance communication, and foster camaraderie
all in a delightful and delicious environment. I will custom design a
menu to accommodate your goals and budget.
Chocolate and Wine Pairing Events at local wineries open to the
public in addition to exclusive cooking and wine pairing classes for wine
club members eager for new experiences. These are fabulous occasions
for chocolate enthusiasts, foodies and wine lovers to experience a delightful
afternoon or evening sipping great wine while enjoying delicious gourmet
cuisine.
