MY STORY
Angelina Torres is a vegan and plant-based chef and caterer currently offering meal delivery throughout the Los Angeles area. She previously served as the head chef at private school New York Explorers Academy in Brooklyn, NY where she planned and prepared weekly menus filled with healthy, well-balanced meals composed solely of seasonal, farm-to-table ingredients for over 100 children and staff.
With a background in fine dining, Torres is trained in French culinary techniques and worked at some of New York’s best kitchens alongside Michelin starred chefs. Her early career dedicated to baking and pastry arts, Torres spent a year at the Brooklyn Museum’s famed Saul’s restaurant as Assistant Pastry Chef where she oversaw the kitchen production schedule and prepared all pastry items from scratch.
Prior to her time at Saul’s, Torres did a series of Pastry Cook stints at Daniel Boulud’s DBGB Kitchen and Bar, private member’s only club The Core Club, Macy’s flagship store Italian eatery Stella 34 Trattoria, and Tom Valenti’s signature haute-cuisine establishment Ouest.
Torres received her training in Culinary Arts from the New York Restaurant School.
I decided to go vegan with my family, and we have not looked back. I believe that variety is what makes the dining experience exciting! My menu is a reflection of different cuisines. I grew up marrying latin spice and southern cuisine. You will experience some of my new Vegan, and plant based family favorites. My years of working with different chefs and a deeper understanding of different international cultures helped me to create my own mouth watering dishes. I got my family to go vegan by promising that I will not sacrifice flavor or our health. I want to make my clients smile when they see my dish arrive at their door. I want to help people understand that plants, legumes, nuts, and grains have flavor too. And plant based proteins are better options then supporting cruel farming practices. Vegan and plant based diets are satisfying in more ways than one.
