My name is Oriana, a dedicated vegan chef based in Montreal with 5 years of experience in the culinary industry. My journey in the kitchen started at a young age when I chose a vegetarian lifestyle and honed my culinary skills under my grandmother's tutelage. I have since realized my passion for plant-based cuisine, blending traditional flavors with modern cooking techniques to produce wholesome and delightful vegan dishes to satisfy the palate and encourage a sustainable lifestyle. My strength lies in my familiarity with modern cooking technology and adherence to sanitary and hygienic standards, skills gained from my years of experience and my Food Handler's Certification. I specialize in creating innovative vegan meals, organizing and catering events, preparing children's meals, keeping the kitchen clean, and handling bakery and pastry preparations. Additionally, I am capable of designing custom menus tailored to my employer's preferences, as well as maintaining the set dietary needs of those I serve. I am multilingual and capable of communicating fluently in English, French, and Spanish. I am available for part-time work as a private personal cook, event chef, family cook, or dietary cook. My flexibility extends from the middle of the day to evenings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Sundays, and Saturday evenings. While I prefer working in a live-out arrangement, I am open to traveling and hold valid work permits. However, please note that I do not smoke, do not possess a driver's license, and am not equipped with a personal vehicle for work. I am excited to bring plant-based culinary innovation to your kitchen. Enjoy delicious, nutritious, and conscientiously prepared meals desirously created for the discerning palate.

After a lifelong passion for plant-based cuisine that started when I went vegetarian at the age of 13, I spent countless hours experimenting in the kitchen, inspired by my grandmother who taught me the art of cooking from scratch. Those early days of culinary exploration shaped my palate and deepened my appreciation for wholesome, delicious food. Today, as a chef, I specialize in creating innovative and nutritious vegan dishes, blending traditional flavors with modern techniques to delight the senses and promote a sustainable lifestyle.
