Private Chef Service

I will come to your place to prepare healthy, delicious gourmet dishes for you and your loved ones. We will jointly decide on your menu and the choice of ingredients to maximize nutritional benefits and satisfy your palate. Please call Olga 805-857-0862 to discuss your raw food needs and preferences.

Raw Vegan Cake Catering

Vitality Gourmet can help you create a unique dessert experience with my organic, raw, vegan special desserts. I will work with you to create the dessert of your choice. I also have a range of already very popular cakes that we can offer which you can read about just below.

Vitality Gourmet has created the ultimate living raw vegan cakes, pies and desserts you can actually feel good about. They are not only delicious, they are uniquely nutritious, as well as having a higher anti-oxidant and nutrition content than their baked counterparts.

Imagine a wedding party, your family get together, or your child's birthday where the desserts were actually great for you!

All my cakes, pies and desserts are wheat-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, gluten-free, but best of all, guilt free! I use no refined sweeteners - only whole fruits, agave or yacon syrup both which are Low GI plant based sweeteners.

All desserts are made to order and are always organic wherever possible, vegan and raw.

Please contact Olga for delivery prices and times. 805-857-0862.

Fresh Juice and Raw Food Detox Week 

I have been fasting once or twice a year for the past 20 years. My favorite place is OHI in San Diego. As a Gourmet Chef I like complex flavors and textures, but the raw food detox diet at OHI is truly designed to help the body get rid of the toxins and transition to a healthier lifestyle.  Please consult your physician before starting any detoxification diet.

 Please call for more information and pricing at 805-857-0862.
