Plant-based chef

& caterING

Hi! I’m a Plant-Based Private Chef based between Perth, Australia and Northern California. I am able to travel and am currently available for hire.

About me

Hi, my name is Tali!

I’m a California gal living between Western Australia and The States. I’ve transformed my passion for the plant-based lifestyle and turned it into my career. I started eating and cooking plant-based in 2016 and went fully vegan in 2021. I had always loved being in the kitchen, but it was during these years that my love of creative cooking really expanded. Cooking this way truly lit me up!

My cooking style is deeply inspired by the vibrant zingy flavors of California cuisine, the bold spices and aromatics of South Asian cooking, the fresh ingredients of the Mediterranean, and the rich tastes of Middle Eastern food.

I’m deeply passionate about creating plant-based foods that nourish the body, uplift the spirit, and show love to the world around us. I believe that food should be FUN and is so much more than fuel! It’s about connection to our health, to each other, and to the Earth. I work with individuals, families, retreat centers, and other food businesses to create fabulous plant-based dishes that leave you feeling nourished, energized, and truly cared for.

I can’t wait to work with you!
