My approach to cooking is based on my mission in life to educate, empower and collaborate with others. I value building community and support local business by using seasonal, local and sustainable ingredients. Inspired by the Bay Area’s rich culture, my culinary style is a blend of my South African and Israeli heritage with classic Californian and European flavors. I have a passion for healthy holistic eating that promotes your well being while still tasting delicious!

Chef Lee was awesome and we would highly recommend her! We booked her at the last minute for a birthday brunch to teach us how to make an Israeli/Mediterranean meal. She was so accommodating and flexible, professional, knowledgeable, sweet and fun. She shared wonderful kitchen tips, created a bonding and interactive cooking experience, and taught us how to make a delicious and beautiful meal that we have all now made for our families individually (we received rave reviews). We can't wait to do it again...with our husbands! Thank you Chef Lee!! If you are looking for a unique, fun, bonding experience - Chef Lee is the answer!

We were looking for an intimate private cooking class on Cozymeal and chose Chef Lee's Mediterranean cooking class. From the refreshing Israeli salad to the delicious lamb meatballs to the simple but tasty dessert, she showed us every step in the process while maintaining the fun part of the class.

Lee was amazing. On time, well organized, flexible, inspiring, and funny. We got more than we bargained for, and she (and her assistant) were both wonderful to work with. The food we cooked was outstanding, and our entire team thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Also, we loved that Lee was passionate about sustainability and food. I can recommend Lee without any hesitation.
