A little life update…

After an incredible chapter with The Food Liaison, this summer has looked a little different. I’ve been spending time cooking privately for incredible clients, consulting with hospitality businesses on culinary and operational strategies, and for the first time, allowing myself to take some much needed time to recharge.

I’m not sure what the future holds for this account. The Food Liaison has been such an important part of my life, and I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported me over the years.

You can find me over on my personal account Nirasha Rodriguez where I’ll be sharing what I’m cooking, consulting on, and what’s next.

And I am excited to announce my first public event since selling The Food Liaison!
