In 2003 she won The San Diego Art Institute’s best teen chef in America Scholarship competition. She earned an Associate of Science in Culinary arts and a Bachelor of Science in Culinary Management.
While attending school she worked at Island Prime, C-Level Lounge, Soliel K in the San Diego Marriott, Hospitality Inc (one of San Diego’s largest catering companies), and Woolfies Bakery in Cape Cod, Mass.
Upon completing school she became a sous chef at Hospitality Inc. From there she went to work for Compass Group overseeing corporate catering and restaurant operations for 11 years in companies like LG Electronics, Teradata, and Qualcomm. Most recently she was the Executive Chef at the Wild Thyme Company where she would oversee large scale events, weddings, private dinners and restaurant operations.

    We love Chef Violette! She prepared an amazing meal for our birthday dinner, was flexible to our requests, she brought help which was great and made it special to help serve everyone, and did I mention her food is delicious and was a big hit? My favorite was the scallops and she made me a homemade carrot cake!! I am overdue leaving her this positive review. We would very gladly have her back! She’s also very sweet and accommodating. Oh and she made beautiful menu cards too! Really every special touch was thought of - Chef Violette goes above and beyond to make your occasion special.

    We had Chef Violette cook a four course meal for for my wife and my wedding dinner and it was hands down one of the best meals I have ever had before. The flavors were 🔥🔥🔥, the attention to detail in the plating was at a pro level, and Violette and her crew were so friendly. I was so happy we had her cook for us and would strongly recommend her to anyone that wants an elevated meal.

    Chef Violette served an amazing meal to me and my wife on Valentine's Day! This was intended to be a surprise for my wife and she was thoroughly ecstatic about the meal. The chef's presentation was amazing and she even included personalized menus which was a great touch. The food came out exactly how I wanted it. The chef took care of everything and our only job was to eat the amazing food :) Would definitely recommend her services and the next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely reach out to her again. 11/10

  • 2-3 Course Plated Meal for 2 - Molly (ID 694653)

    My husband and I hired Chef Violette to cook our wedding night dinner. Given the pandemic, we had a wedding with just the two of us. Since we were unable to celebrate with family and friends, we wanted to do something to make the night feel extra special and celebratory. We decided a private dinner cruise on the San Diego bay would be perfect. We chartered a private boat and asked Violette to serve us dinner on the boat. She provided a delicious meal and helped make our wedding day extra special. I have a number of dietary restrictions, and Violette managed to serve a full meal that was excellent and didn't violate any of my restrictions--all with only a limited galley/kitchen on the boat! I never thought I would have a meal that good that fit within my restrictions. Violette even contacted me ahead of time to ask what my wedding colors were so that she could coordinate the table setting, and she coordinated with the boat captain to ensure things were good to go for her. When we arrived, there was a beautifully set table with cute printed menus and a beautiful vase of flowers for us. She wore a mask and gave us plenty of space, so we felt very safe with her. I am very happy with the experience we had and would absolutely recommend Chef Violette to anyone looking for a lovely meal!

    Chef Violette was wonderful. She prepared a meal that surpassed our expectations for both the presentation as well as flavors of everything served. There were 9 people at our dinner and everyone was blown away. She even helped us with making a craft cocktail to compliment the meal. We will definitely have her prepare meals and help with future events. Thanks Violette!
