Growing up in Hawaii, Chef Jessie was exposed to the idea of accentuating fresh, local produce at a young age. Watching her mother, Chef Jessie was always encouraged to experiment with ingredients and have fun in the kitchen. Over 20 years later, she finds herself fully immersed in the culinary world, leading her to her new position as an Executive Chef as well as a teacher of an array of fun and easy-going cooking classes.
