1) Who are you?
My name is Chef Reyaña Radcliff. I have been a professional chef for 19 years, and a mom for almost 15! I love being a mom to a brilliant, beautiful, and hilarious young lady. Cooking has been my passion since I was about 4 years old, and it has never left!
2) What is your blog, program, agency, or organization about? When did it start?
My company, Your Braisen Chef, started in 2021. I have had the pleasure of cooking dishes from my creativity, but mainly by listening to the client. Having them tell me what the special occasion is, what the theme might be, helps me create menus that surpass their vision, creating memories they can say they had a hand in. I love making dishes that are light, fun, and healthy! If you are looking for some comfort food, I got you on that too!
3) What is your mission? Why do you feel strongly about this area of interest?
Another avenue I like to partake in is educating school age kids to seniors about healthy recipes that they can benefit from but also connect with. By showing them something unique from a farm found at a farmer´s market, or bringing in farm fresh ingredients for them to try and enjoy is so impactful! A lot of times communities that have a strong presence of fast food restaurants lack grocery stores and fresh produce. By engaging with community partners to get the information and products readily available, I can assist with getting the word out of the importance of such a necessity.
4) If someone asked for your feedback on how to live their best life, what would your response be in one sentence?
“Drink water, listen to your body on what it needs. If you are craving something, it's probably something you are lacking. If you hold emotions or triggers in, it can come back to haunt you. If you can find a way to go out of your way to be nice, not only will the person on the receiving end feel seen and appreciated, but chances are you get to have some joy also. Smiles look good on you!”
