About

Vanessa Cantave, a passionate chef and entertaining expert, found her culinary calling after leaving a successful career in advertising and graduating from the French Culinary Institute.

Despite initially studying political science at James Madison University, Vanessa's passion for food remained constant, leading her to eventually pursue her culinary dreams in New York City. Vanessa's diverse culinary experiences, from her family's kitchen to her time at culinary school, shaped her approach as a private chef and caterer.
