About

Hi. I’m Adrianna. I started a personal chef business in 2004 while attending culinary school. Besides boosting my coolness quotient with my kids and allowing my husband bragging rights about having a chef for a wife, I’ve done some other really fun things, like working in Southern California restaurants, professional food-writing and teaching cooking classes to food enthusiasts in Orange County. This journey started as a passion for flavor and continues as a quest for health. I’m a classic trained chef, turned health-minded survivor. I’ve studied the philosophies of nutritional experts and came up with a way to eat healthier without sacrificing flavor. Once I made the decision to focus on my health, the physical and mental changes were instantaneous. I felt better than I had in years and I felt like I had some control. I had clarity and found joy in knowing I was making the right choices for my overall wellness. My wish is to help others that find themselves on a similar journey. Welcome to Rockin’ Chef!
