Have you met Chef MD? Madame Donut is originally from the Philippines and grew up calling many places home, with Maui holding her heart for years.

She began her culinary career in San Francisco and is thrilled to be back in the Bay Area, for its deep respect for food and craft.

Cooking professionally for nearly two decades, MD brings a thoughtful, playful approach rooted in classical technique, island influence, and zero-waste values. She’s passionate about real ingredients, intentional flavor, and feeding people well.

Today we’re celebrating our co-owners, Maggie & Erika, for World Entrepreneurs’ Day.

In January 2020, Erika bought half of The Heirloom Chef from longtime solopreneur Maggie and took over the day-to-day operations.

Just a couple of short months later, in March 2020, COVID hit the business hard, but the two have weathered that storm, as well as a postpartum leave, scaling from 3 to 13 chefs, and starting a new location (and new brand) in Cincinnati.

Here’s to the vision, determination, and grit that got us here. Cheers to this powerful pair.

Chef Gita’s clients describe her food as “beautiful *and* delicious.” We couldn’t agree more.

Vibrant ingredients, beautiful presentation, and meals that are as nourishing as they are joyful. There’s always a story woven into Chef Gita’s cooking, and we’re so happy to have her sharing it here. 🤍

Our Summer Dinner Party Menu is in full swing, and we have a few more favorites to share.

Our Heirloom Tomato Salad has been wowing dinner party guests. Served with slices of fresh, ripe peaches, crisp cucumber, and green goddess dressing, it’s basically summer on a plate.

Last but not least at course four, our Rose & Cardamom Strawberry Clafoutis is simple, elegant, and stunning, served with a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
