Hi, I'm Chef Arnella Barbara!

I am a graduate of the Pasadena School of Culinary Arts, plant-based program. Because of my many allergies, I started prepping and cooking my own meals—and saw how it changed everything for me and learned how food can heal you both inside and out. I now help my clients create healthy vegan meals that keep them strong, energized, and happy. I am based in Los Angeles and also work in the entertainment business.

I am also passionate about helping young adults on the Autism spectrum start their safe cooking journeys and build independence. I have a flexible menu of activities to choose from depending on what my clients’ skills and abilities are— being sure to always meet them where they’re at and follow both their abilities and passions.
