Chef Lavinia

Chef Lav is self-taught sushi chef and a just a click away from coming to your house for a night of Homakase (Omakase at home). Her love of eating sushi began when she was a student, but going out to a sushi restaurant was expensive on a college budget, so she learned  to make it herself, now two years later, she’s doing it for us!  
 
She is available for small events, classes and private dinners. An evening of Homakase would make an excellent house warming gift or stocking stuffer any night of the week. She is also available for travel.
