Chef Maria Naves

Get to know me better

Denver born & raised chef. Southern and Italian background, French and Italian trained. 10 years experience cooking professionally, a lot more in life

I grew up in my Italian grandmother's kitchen making my southern grandmother's recipies. I've cooked in delis, smokehouses, steak houses, fast casual, and fine dining restaurants. Even got to cook in Italy which was a dream. I try to build rich and complex flavors from simple clean ingredients. Also happy to add a THC (provided by you of course) experience to any meal.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

...everything. The kitchen is my happy place. Nothing can replace the feeling that comes from seeing someone enjoy something I made.

I learned to cook at...

I learned from my Grandmother. Did culinary at Emiky Griffith. Worked in reataraunts for years. Read every culinary book I could get my hands on.

A cooking secret...

The best ingredients don't always cost the most. I try to find the freshest most seasonal fruits and veggies and build around them.
