Hi! I’m Nicole, aka The Food Dragon, and yes my last name is really Dragon. My culinary journey began at a young age, growing up in a family that cherished the joys of home-cooked meals and entertaining. My mom and grandma were always in the kitchen, crafting unforgettable spreads and fostering my love for cooking. I grew up glued to The Food Network, watching cooking shows over any cartoon.
Bright seasonal flavors and local produce are my jam. I believe in food that's as good for you as it is delicious. Melding creativity with a health focused approach is one of my favorite parts of cooking.
If I’m not private cheffing, I’m in the kitchen creating recipes that embrace the essence of whole ingredients. I believe that food should feel as good as it tastes. My approach combines the vibrant flavors of California cuisine with the comforting notes of the east coast, all while maintaining a strong focus on organic, seasonal produce.
Through private chef services and social content, I’m here to inspire you in the kitchen! Whether you’re a seasoned foodie or a curious beginner, there’s always a place in my kitchen.
