Chef Leslie

Leslie Riley’s journey began at her grandmother’s side. With roots in Bergamo, Italy, and flavors gathered from France, Austria, and Slovenia, her grandmother passed down not just recipes, but a way of life—one steeped in memory, tradition, and love. Today, Chef Leslie brings the heart of the European countryside—its warmth, tradition, and unhurried charm—into harmony with California’s seasonal bounty. Through her lifestyle brand and event work, she offers a signature blend of casual California elegance and timeless culinary heritage.

Pairing European culinary tradition with the easy style Southern California, our catering service brings a relaxed yet elegant touch to intimate, high-end events. We specialize in seasonally inspired, globally influenced menus crafted with passion, precision, and joyful creativity. We pride ourselves on using only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients, thoughtfully sourced to enhance every dish. More than just meals, our events are curated experiences, designed to spark connection and create exceptional memories around the table. We bring warmth, sophistication, and a personal touch to every event.
