About Life Chef with Chef Asata

Life Chef is a commitment to eating and living well; a passion for food as sustenance, entertainment, hobby and livelihood; and a statement that means something akin to "Las Vegas or Bust" or "No Sleep til Brooklyn" or "Power to the People." That makes sense in my head... This channel is about "Food" and my love of food is "for Life." Enjoy.

About this user

I am a professional chef and journalist with a passion for food.

I am an alumnae of the School of Culinary
Arts at the Art Institute, and I have worked for a decade in restaurants, private homes and catering biusinesses including award-winning restuarants Dish, the Food Studio, Nikolai's Roof, Lush and the Bold American Catering Company.

My journalism career began after graduating from Florida A&M University (Rattlers STRIKE!) and pursuing a freelance career which includes writing/editing for publications such as Essence, Upscale, Dossier, Atlanta CityMag, Rolling Out, Crossroads News, AOL Living and many others. I also had the honor of being Editor in Chief of Fierce magazine, nominated for Utne's Best New Magazine 2003, and have been published in a few anthologies, the latest of which -- Who's Your Mama: The Unsung Voices of Women and Mothers with Foreward by Rebecca Walker, edited by Yvonne Bynoe -- will be released in May of 2009.

After years of working in the food and writing industries, I found a way to marry my passions through Life Chef, where I use whole foods and fresh ingredients to make healthful eating easy, fun, affordable and totally do-able.

We're talking every day eating that pushes you out of the simply "living to eat" routine, into the realm of those who eat to live! We're making great meals a part of living well every day, and not something to be toiled over or dumped on a to-do list. I know you want to eat better so that you can live better, and we're fueling your life one dish at a time by making food that fits your lifestyle!
