Lisa has been using food to show her love since she was barely tall enough to reach the stove. Always a fan of deep connection and conversation, Lisa loves the space that gathering for a meal provides - time to pause, relax and enjoy the moment with your people or yourself. She feels blessed to have the skill of being able to throw together a meal on the fly and was reminded of how happy she is cooking while volunteering in the kitchen at Rosehaven, a day shelter for women in NW Portland.
While living in NYC, Lisa worked as a private chef and staff chef for the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Since returning to her chosen home of Portland, Lisa has been focussing on pop-ups and dinner parties and is grateful to be honing her skills under the tutelage of Peter Cho at Han Oak.
