Anna grew up in Buffalo, New York where
she lived until her wanton spirit drove her west in 1996.
The majority of her years were spent in the retail industry
learning about people.
In 2006 she decided to put the skills
from her retail history with her family background in Italian
cooking and became a personal chef. Since then, Anna has
enjoyed getting to know local farmers and mastering food
seasonality.
Anna treasures the relationships
she has made and the knowledge of local food in the Greater
Vancouver area. She donates her time and talents to many
local organizations and is currently a board member with
the Clark County Food System Council.
Lisa Robbins
Lisa grew up in the Brush Prairie/Hockinson area among
gardens and pastures, she appreciates the work and love
that goes into growing our food. The big city life in
Vancouver had led her astray for a time, eating less fresh
and more prepared. After meeting Anna and tasting her
love for cooking ...the outcome was obvious. Chef meets
fresh, and the rest is savory.
Lisa is a regular mentor for at-risk youth
in the community with Clark County Juvenile Justice Centers
restorative community service program.
