Hi! I’m Nona Kuznetsov — a personal chef with a passion for creating meaningful meals rooted in family, culture, and creativity.
I’ve been cooking since I was 12, originally inspired by my grandfather who taught me how to cook and grow my own food.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to grow under the mentorship of Chef Keya, who took a chance on me and welcomed me as her sous chef. Working alongside her gave me the space to refine my skills, explore creative freedom, and deepen my love for thoughtful, intentional cooking.
My menus are always personal. Each dish is a reflection of my journey — from family traditions and cultural influences to the lessons I’ve picked up along the way. Cooking isn’t just something I do — it’s how I connect, create, and tell stories through food.

“Food is our common ground, a universal experience.”
— James Beard
