Chef Kori Kanayama
Chef At Home In Chelsea
Get to know me better
A teacher/chef who cooks elegantly nourishing seasonal foods in harmony with nature using the highest-quality, ecologically grown Michigan produce.
I’m a community farm chef available for live-in chef assignments, group cooking events, and intimate catering. I cook seasonal foods in harmony with nature, respecting the innate flavors and goodness of ecologically grown local produce. I adapt time-honored Japanese and Italian approaches to unfussy great food, Blue Zones eating, and the wisdom of Chinese Traditional Medicine to create authentic dishes that nourish and heal you from the inside.
I use an executive coach's sophisticated analytical and intuitive processes to understand my clients and customize menus for them. I also teach my clients how to select and cook nourishing foods.
Because I serve meals that beg to be eaten immediately, I do my best cooking as a live-in chef for individuals, couples, and families or co-habiting folks of up to three people. I'm also available to cater unique intimate meals and to organize group cooking events and classes.
I invite you to experience cooking that joins folks together in harmony with nature!
More about me
For me, cooking is...
A creative expression of care for others. It is medicine as carefully and intentionally selected foods can be.
I learned to cook at...
my mother's kitchen, cooking from scratch. Also preparing crew meals at Tantre Farm and for my diabetic mother and brother every day for 1.5 years.
A cooking secret...
Start with good water and the highest quality ingredients at the peak of flavor. Play up attractive flavor, texture, and color combinations.
