Raised in the country, Lisa learned the art of home-style cooking using only the freshest and finest ingredients from her mother and grandmother. At an early age, Lisa developed an appreciation for great food. Lisa’s first introduction into the catering business began when she was a teenager, working for one of Bakersfield’s finest former caterers, Marilyn Curtis. Lisa left Bakersfield to pursue a degree in Hotel Resort Management at Chico State University. She realized her passion was always going to be cooking, so she moved to the small California coastal town of Gualala to work under the tutelage of world-renowned Swiss Chef Rene at the Ocean Song Restaurant. While working in Gualala, Lisa discovered she had a flair for the presentation as well as the preparation of the dishes she would create. After returning to Bakersfield in 2001, Lisa honed her culinary skills by working at Cafe Med under Chef Meir Brown and then at Valentien Restaurant under Chef Robert Dixon. In 2004, Lisa opened Bord A Petite Catering to fulfill her dream of having her own catering business. She appreciates all that she has learned from her many “teachers” in the food-service industry, and is thankful to Mary and Erwin Tiziani of Alpine Pastries for all of their help and support.
