Business Philosophy

Cozy Cuisine is the culmination of my philosophy on cuisine. High quality food should be enjoyed with good company in a comfy place. I didn’t want to compromise on ingredient quality or method, but really wanted to create products that were both easily enjoyed and convenient. This philosophy comes from my Italian family gathering and enjoying good food together. I remember my interest in cooking started because only those who were cooking or doing dishes could be in the kitchen. I remember as child loving the warm energy that came from the kitchen. That’s where all the fun was happening. During the Covid pandemic, I took a break from culinary school and starting preparing meals for local families. Once restaurants reopened I thought the demand would go down. When that didn’t happen, I realized that while most people enjoy good food, they either don’t have the time or desire to go out to eat after a long day. After my realization, I started working on recipes that would freeze well and be easily prepared, while not diminishing the quality or freshness of the dish. After a couple of years testing recipes from my own home, I decided to open Cozy Cuisine and start offering meals to everyone. It was important to me to maintain quality and make the meals affordable. My husband who has a master’s degree in accounting helped to pinpoint areas other than ingredient quality that would make the meals more affordable.

Get Started

History

My love for cooking started at an early age. I have fond memories of cooking with my grandmother, aunts, and my mother. My paternal grandmother taught me about southern cooking as she was a farm girl from Kansas. On my mother’s side of the family, we all used to gather to make fresh pasta for the holidays. As a kid, I learned that if I wanted to know what was going on with my big Italian family, I had to be in the kitchen and I had to be working to be in the kitchen. I also remember one occasion that I made breakfast in bed for my mother. The kitchen was a disaster, but my mother didn’t say a word. She just enjoyed her homemade biscuits and gravy, smiled, and told me that it was a chef’s responsibility to leave the kitchen as clean as they found it.

My culinary journey continued throughout college where I hosted dinner parties for my friends at my little apartment. I studied Italian at the University of Perugia and while on break, I stayed with an Italian family in Milan and learned from my former foreign exchange student’s mother several traditional recipes. I even continued cooking while on base when I was stationed in Iraq on a tiny hotplate and ingredients borrowed from the chow hall.

I have a degree in International Business from Oklahoma State University and after meeting my husband, getting married, and having children decided to go to culinary school. I completed two years at the culinary school at OSUIT in Okmulgee, worked as a private chef for the past three years, and delivered sharable meals to family and friends during COVID. The idea for Cozy Cuisine has really been a work in progress for sometime. My goal is to make chef quality food that people can enjoy from the comfort of their own home. I use the best possible ingredients and prepare everything from scratch.
