Chef Danielle Danekas started cooking at a very young age while growing up in Northern California.  She began by watching, learning and helping her mother who was a professional caterer in the mid 80's.  As she got older her love for the culinary arts and wine led her to working at a winery in San Luis Obispo, CA in her late teens.  Wanting to take her passion further she began working in restaurants in her early twenties which led her to become the chef she is today.  With a vast array of experience, she has managed kitchens up and down the great state of California.  Chef Danielle specializes in market to dinner table cuisine with emphasis in rustic Mediterranean food!  Her motto is, "You don't have to sacrifice flavor in order to eat healthy!"  She believes the best cuisine is kept fresh and clean, without use of heavy sauces, letting the food speak for itself.  Through the years she has created many of her own original recipes.  She is currently in the process of writing her first cookbook, hopefully to be out sometime next year.  In the meantime she is serving up creative, healthy and delicious food in Los Angeles, CA. Chef Dani, as she is called in LA, is available for personal and private chef work, cooking classes, demonstrations and catering!

I only had one opportunity to hire Danielle last year. Her professional skills were an added value to my "Taste a Thon" booth's at a Malibu event.Her interactive people skills with customer's and with my other staff member's were a refreshing attribute each day she worked. Self motivated and spot on to the calling are some of her other qualities.
