Chef Sara Gonzales
Personal Chef In Pasadena
Get to know me better
I elevate family classics we all love to gourmet quality, focusing on depth of flavor, quality ingredients, and can customize for health/diet!
I have been in the culinary industry as a Chef and Pastry Chef for over a decade. One of my first positions was Head Baker for a popular Food Network personality and we co-wrote a cookbook together. I was able to learn so much in that time and took it with me to managing/head cheffing a tea and sandwich shop at the Hollywood W Hotel and managing/pastry-cheffing a new Arts District cafe a few years ago. I took a break from the industry during the pandemic and have been developing techniques and flavors at home that simply need to be shared with everyone, so that’s what I hope to do for you!
More about me
For me, cooking is...
Love. It’s showing my heart to those I’m feeding. My goal is to bring a smile to your face AND your tastebuds.
I learned to cook at...
Both my parents were great cooks coming from 2 different cultures, working full time so I was taught to make dinner young. Then 12 years in Industry!
A cooking secret...
Focus on flavor! I do believe in presentation but if it doesn’t TASTE amazing…what’s the point?! I don’t overcomplicate things.
