Since 2012, he has cultivating vegan cuisine, developing an adaptable culinary practice that embraces a variety of dietary needs and preferences, including gluten-free, plant-based, Alkaline, raw preparations or any dietary restrictions. His experience spans private chef services, catering, menu development, and international travel, as well as nourishing retreats and healing spaces centered on personal transformation, wellness, and the healing arts.

Through his work, Chef Reiki Love views the kitchen as a space for nourishment, connection, and healing. As a Reiki practitioner, he incorporates intention and loving energy into his cooking, honoring the relationship between the hands, the heart, the food, and the body.

He believes cooking is like tasting someone’s imagination, and that a meal extends far beyond the plate. It is an opportunity to gather, to connect, and to nurture ourselves and one another. Through his culinary practice, he invites others to develop a deeper relationship with food and discover the healer within their own kitchens.
