Hi there!

I’M ANNA

Let me guide you through creating simple yet life-giving dishes through the lens of seeking beauty in the little things. Food is so much more than a means to satisfy hunger. It’s community, comradery and connection, patience, diligence, culturally deep, creative, and artistic. Just like all aspects of life, food must be balanced to create meals that are satisfying, healthful, and a rewarding experience. So come, learn from a chef who lived a chaotic life, crashed, burned, and had to restart, finding joy in simplicity instead of over-achievement.

Approachable food: simplicity in preparation, mindfulness of ingredients, pureness of flavors, beauty in creating

Chef Anna uses unexpected ingredients and techniques and creates dishes that are somehow both surprising and familiar. Her food is indulgent while at the same time being incredibly nourishing. She has a vast knowledge of several world cuisines that she weaves through her menus, making them unique from the menus of other chefs. While all of her courses are fantastic, she has a particular knack for creating the perfect bite in the appetizer course and unexpected salads. I appreciate her health-conscious cooking, including incredible gluten-free and dairy-free dishes

Chef Anna has prepared two of our most memorable Date Lady Christmas company dinners, providing that certain unique and creative touch not possible with on-sight caterers. She has also conceptualized some outstanding content for our website and social media channels really executing our products beautifully in recipes.

I am a photographer for Bass Pro Shops and Chef Anna is who we call when we need that extra special attention needed for our food shots. Not only is she a pure pleasure to work with, we knocked out more than expected in daily shots. By far, my favorite food stylist and Chef around!! Her attention to detail is unmatched.

Chef Anna's food is unmatched in quality and flavor. The only food I've had that comes close to comparison are dishes I've gotten to enjoy at Michelin-star restaurants or in Scandinavian countries. I'm always impressed with how she can take simple, fresh ingredients and apply various preparation techniques to open up their flavor. It takes a very talented person to make ordinary and nutritious ingredients like vegetables tantalize your tastebuds, but she can do it.

What a fabulous meal prepared by an engaging chef. We loved every course and how Chef Anna explained them. Anna coordinated well w/ the host in making selections. We would definitely use her again.
