Meet Your Personal Chef

Chef Lawrence is originally from Oakland, CA; he relocated to Roseville, CA in 1989 and later served the community of Sacramento County as a law enforcement officer for twenty-five years.  After retiring he pursued his passion for cooking that's been developed over the past fifteen years. 

Having grown up in a household where his mother cooked wholesome family meals since he was a child, Chef Lawrence acquired a zest for creating his own elevated/unique take on what his mother used to do in her kitchen.  His family and friends soon discovered that he had a special gift when it came to cooking, beyond that of a "just regular home cook" and encouraged him to pursue his passion in the platform of becoming a personal chef.

Though Chef Lawrence has no formal culinary training, nor has he worked in the food services industry, he has instinctively acquired a skill level of food preparation rarely adapted by regular home cooks.  His adoration for cooking is apparent in everything he does in the kitchen.  

My cooking philosophy is based on the following beliefs ...

• I believe that cooking is an art form that should be approached with creativity and passion.

• I believe that the best food is made with fresh, seasonal ingredients.

• I believe that cooking should be a source of joy and satisfaction, not a chore.

• I believe that food is a way to connect with people and cultures from all over the world.

In addition...

"I believe that every meal should be a memorable experience. That's why I take a personalized approach to every dish I create. I work closely with my clients to understand their tastes and preferences, and I use my creativity to craft unique and delicious meals that they will love."

"I also believe that cooking should be fun, creative, and approachable. I strive to make delicious and healthy meals that are accessible to everyone, regardless of their skill level in the kitchen."
