Chef Mia Liu

I've spent more than 15 years transforming wholesome, nutritious ingredients into scrumptious meals. It started with an unconventional journey: I traveled the world playing poker professionally for 6 years. It was a quest for peak mental and physical performance that led me to focus on optimizing my diet to make sure I perform and feel my best. I also fell in love with a diverse range of spices, flavors, and culinary techniques from around the world.

Over the years, I’ve realized that too much of our everyday foods are merely survival food, not designed for optimal nutrition or taste. With today’s incredible access to healthy ingredients and modern cooking methods, I saw an opportunity to transform everyday dining into extraordinary nourishing experiences. Food can be both delectable and packed with nutrients, far beyond what you typically find at home or in most restaurants. That's what led me to founding my own personal chef service, WildSpice.

I approach cooking with care, knowledge, and love so that your food gives you better energy and health to enjoy life. Every ingredient matters. I steer clear of the traditional high-fat, high-salt, high-sugar culinary school cooking approach, choosing instead to focus on fresh, wholesome ingredients. The result? Meals that taste incredible AND help you feel great.

I enjoy making each meal and each event a culinary adventure for you and your guests, from private dinner parties to weekly meal prep. In addition, I've had the honor of being invited as the guest chef at various farmers markets in the Portland and Oregon City areas, where I conduct cooking demos to showcase fresh, flavorful local cooking.
