Hi there, its Chef Linda.

Whether you are interested in planning a cooking party, celebrating a special birthday or in need of Chef Services of some kind, I can help you plan a healthy menu. This will allow you to have time to enjoy your party or event as the hostess.

As a Southern & a California Cuisine Chef, I also enjoy creating simple healthy meals for you to enjoy at home. I can create tasty appetizers and desserts for business luncheons too. The key is using fresh ingredients with herbs, spices and other seasonings in dishes I have created myself. Understanding flavor profiles is key to creating tasting dishes (GMO free), keeping the salt and sugar at a minimum.

Due to food allergies or intolerances, we can discuss ways to create new dishes or recipe remakes so you do not have to give up your favorite casseroles, pastas or desserts that you had to give up. Then you can take your favorite dish to parties once again. I offer grocery shopping tips, cupboard clearings and how to better understand food labels so you can identify those disguised sugars, carbs or other chemical ingredients that you don’t need. There is a lot of modified foods that were once healthy in the grocery aisles today. 

I have been inspired by my beloved Mother since I was a girl to cook Southern meals with her in the kitchen “based on our family recipes”. Now I have converted my family recipes and developed my own dishes to be more healthy, tasty and nutritious. Sweet and savory flavors ….the natural way.

So remember, lower-calorie – healthy dishes does not mean that your meals have to lack taste or flavor. Fresh food prepared properly should burst with flavor on your palate’ and also boost your energy!

So consider contacting me today so we can explore ways to work together to plan your next party or event to make it fun and memorable!  Or you can learn how to create dishes using my cooking methods and techniques, so you don’t have to always follow recipe “rules.” 

Nourishing Wishes,
Chef Linda
