A little about the chef
As a founder and Executive Chef at Sattvik Foods, I bring with me a culture and passion for food. I was born and raised in Kenya, Africa. From my early age, I enjoyed creating food to please my friends and family. My mother and sisters were my biggest inspiration towards my journey, they guided me into my passion for food. Luckily for me, I’ve been able to turn that passion for food into a lucrative career.

How I started
I began my food career as a restaurant owner and caterer in San Diego in 1995. The restaurant was a teaching experience where I created and developed my own signature dishes. I embedded my African style of cooking to fuse with the Asian culture and some American influences to create flavorful masterpieces. After successfully running a profitable restaurant for 14 years, I decided to go into a more personal level of cooking. In 2011, I founded my company Cooking 4U. I offered Personal Chef Services, and cooking classes to clients throughout San Diego. The pace was slow, which gave me more time and satisfaction to serve my clients on a personal level and learn different styles of cooking. Outside of my culinary career, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, listening to music, reading, socializing and volunteering. I also love taking my dog, Coco to the beach and the dog park.
