Chef Carla wears many hats. She is more than just a cook; she is a farmer, teacher, beekeeper, butcher, and Betty Crocker punk rocker! This impressive chef converted a vacant lot into a productive urban farmland and graduated from Kendall College with a Bachelor of Arts in Culinary Arts program. Food is her religion, from growing and cooking it to buying and storing it. Chef Carla calls on everyone to dust off their aprons, get in the kitchen, and whip up some love.

Chef Carla offers an eclectic array of dishes that she prepares in front of you. Her cozy and rustic-chic space offers a bit of the old world, along with a very eclectic choice of music. She is knowledgeable with her cooking repertoire as she shares insight on how to make everything from Greek dolmades, ​​pork pozolé, quiche​​, to a lovely Italian ricotta cheesecake.​​ I even got to learn the secrets to making great tamales from scratch! Wonderful experience that shouldn't be missed!​
