Chef Fiona Oleary

My name is Fiona and I have been in the restaurant and service industry for the past decade. I have always been passionate about food and beverage, growing up with a mother who loved to cook and in a family that enjoyed new dining experiences.

I am an East Coast transplant here in San Diego. My experience began in New York City, working at some of the top healthy concept restaurants. I moved to San Diego partly because of the abundance of local, seasonal produce. You cannot find local, ripe oranges and avocados in NYC!

In my time in California, I have worked in several restaurants, volunteered as a hands-on nutrition and culinary educator for children and adults, and completed a certification course in Ayurvedic cooking. Ayurveda taught me so much about working with spices. I love bright, bold flavors!

I worked for MediChefs as a health focused personal chef for a year before pursuing my own clients full time. I currently offer meal prep services, cooking lessons, and catering for private events.

I teach part time at a recovery center for women. Learning how to care for our bodies is often missing in recovery programs. I am proud to lend a hand. My goal is to help others feel more confident in the kitchen, while simultaneously nourishing themselves and their families.

Though much of my experience is with alternative diets (vegan, ayurvedic, gluten free, etc), I can cook anything. I can accommodate whatever it is you’re looking for, but I will always take pride in sourcing high quality ingredients.

Some of the photos I have shared are from the most recent wedding I catered.

Looking forward to meeting you!!
