Hey! I’m Chef G. (she/they)

I’ve been vegan for about 8 years, while living as an on-and-off vegetarian or vegan for years before that. Being vegan through nearly all of my twenties, and now into my thirties, a bitch still knows how to eat.

Currently, I’m a Chef for a local non-profit, and I’ve been working in kitchens since I was a teenager. I worked in food service without thinking much about food for many years– until I realized how much I could express my love for others through cooking for them.

I am inspired by American comfort foods, which are more-or-less unique takes on comfort foods from around the world.

Food connects us to so much more than the moment– our families, ancestry, friends, culture, community, history; it is an expression of who we are, as well as who people were before us.

I make American comfort cuisine, and I do it without causing any suffering. Animal treatment on large farms has gotten horrific over time, and the meat we cook now is not the same meat our grandparents cooked– and, depending on who your grandparents were, they might not have even eaten meat.
