At Flourish, we believe that exceptional food starts with exceptional people. As demand for personal chef services continues to grow, we’ve expanded our team to include a collective of skilled, seasoned chefs—each bringing their own culinary background, technical expertise, and passion for hospitality.
What connects us is a shared commitment to excellence and an unwavering dedication to preparing the freshest, highest-quality ingredients. Whether we’re cooking a private dinner, crafting a multi-course celebration, or developing nourishing weekly meals, our focus is always on creating food that feels vibrant, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying.
Sarah Mandell founded Flourish in 2004 with a commitment to fresh, ingredient-forward cuisine rooted in wellness, creativity, and joy. Her cooking is shaped by 25 years in Southern California, a lifelong love of farmers markets and locally sourced produce, and travels around the world exploring cultures through their food.
Drawing from global influences, classical techniques, and a natural curiosity for new ingredients, Sarah creates dishes that are elegant, flavorful, and always prepared with a lighter, health-conscious touch.
Outside the professional kitchen, Sarah loves gathering friends around the stove, sharing tips, trading stories, and celebrating the simple pleasure of cooking a beautiful meal together.
Sarah is brilliant at conceiving of and preparing imaginative dishes with a creative presentation. She truly elevates any gathering.
Everything was so fresh and we could tell that she uses the high-quality ingredients. Sarah was warm, friendly and inviting as well as extremely professional throughout our experience with her. By the end of the evening, we felt like she was an old friend.
