Chef Bertha Leyva

I am a 35-year-old chef who's been immersed in the world of cooking for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a family of restaurant owners, the kitchen became my second home, and food became my passion. I co-owned a Mexican restaurant in Bend, Oregon where I honed my skills and deepened my love for bold flavors and authentic cuisine. For the past 8 years I've been catering, bringing my heart and creativity to every dish I serve. Whether its an intimate gathering or a large event, I believe food should tell a story, spark joy, and bring people together.
