The Fine Art of Sourdough

|
LANCE TOROA passion for food and an ambitious dream to establish a career in culinary arts led me to Los Angeles, California, and fuels my success. I love food, caring for others, and watching people react when they savor the first bite of a dish I’ve prepared. I’m known for both my amiable personality and my cooking skills. I have a natural ability to seamlessly join someone’s home, and am described as animated, bright, intense while working, with a great sense of humor.
In 1997, I transitioned from working in restaurants to working as a private chef, planning and preparing meals in client’s homes. I have worked for some of the most elite celebrities in Los Angeles including Christina Aguilera, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jerry Moss, Jaclyn Smith, Ellen Degeneres and many others. In addition, I prepare meals for parties, events, and private travel. I develop budgets, shop for ingredients, and maintain an inventory of food and beverages. My meals encompass a broad range of cuisine as well as specific requests. |
