Meet Chef C

Welcome! I’m Chef Cynthia Monroe, but you can call me Chef C. I am an advocate for local and sustainable food, and I am thrilled to share my culinary expertise with you. If you’re a farmer or business owner looking to highlight your products, I’m here to help bring your offerings to the forefront of the culinary scene.

Having graduated from the Inland Northwest Culinary Academy in 2014 and earning the title of Certified Executive Chef from the American Culinary Federation, I bring a wealth of culinary knowledge and skills to the table. As the President of our local ACF Chapter and Chef at Spiceology, I have established myself as a leader in the industry.

 

LocaVore Passion

One of my passions is working directly with farmers to showcase their amazing products. Whether it’s fragrant mushrooms, hearty lentils, or any other locally grown fare, I believe in the power of highlighting the incredible flavors that can be found in our own backyard. I take pride in partnering with farmers and businesses to create unique and memorable culinary experiences that highlight their products as well as the hard work and dedication that goes into their production. 

Community Chef

Through my farmer’s market appearances, library demonstrations, and other community events, I bring people together to experience and appreciate the bounty that local growers have to offer. By utilizing sustainable and low-waste practices, I ensure that the flavors take center stage while minimizing our ecological footprint.

If you’re seeking to promote your products or establish strong connections with the local community, I invite you to consider collaborating with me. Together, we can create culinary experiences that not only celebrate your farm’s unique offerings but also educate and inspire others about the importance of locally sourced, sustainable food.
