Kayla’s Heartfelt Haute Cuisine: Stunning, Creative
Born and raised in Oakland, California, Kayla grew up surrounded by a huge array of diverse flavors and global cuisines; from iconic slow-food mecca Chez Panisse, to the wineries of Sonoma and Napa, to the infinite immigrant-run neighborhood institutions of Oakland, the East Bay Area is an incredible place from which to draw culinary inspiration. Kayla’s credits this for her characteristically wide culinary range, which includes French and American classics as well as authentic dishes and techniques from Southeast Asia, Mexico and Central America, the greater Mediterranean, and the Middle East.
She is drawn to time-honored traditional recipes and ingredients, preferring the proverbial “real deal” to more Eurocentric fusion cuisine, as well as old-world methods of natural fermentation, breadmaking, stocks and preserves.
