HI, I’M CHEF MEL!
I am a private chef, culinary instructor, and “foodie” serving the Central Coast of California and beyond. With a BA in Psychology, minor in Art & Design, & Culinary Certificate from the Westlake Culinary Institute, I use cooking as a creative outlet and way to bring people together.
I’m passionate about helping others grow confident in the kitchen and have experience cooking for a variety of dietary needs, including Gluten-Free, Paleo, & Vegan. You’ll also find me hanging with family, grabbing coffee with a friend, walking the dog, or playing volleyball at the beach!
