Hi, I’m Chef Brandon Rouge, a Seattle-based chef who is passionate about creating healthy and delicious plant-based comfort foods. My culinary journey has been shaped by my own health challenges over the past two decades, which inspired me to explore the healing power of food. I specialize in allergen-friendly versions of traditional comfort foods, using whole food ingredients that nourish both body and soul.

From my early days as a taco stand owner to winning a culinary competition on Food Network, I’ve dedicated my career to making allergen-friendly cooking accessible and enjoyable for everyone. I currently work as a personal Chef in Seattle and I teach cooking classes at PCC Markets and Our Beginning School. I also had the honor of running Celest Cafe from 2018 to 2020, where I served the community with wholesome, plant-based and gluten-free dishes.

When I’m not in the kitchen, you can find me practicing Qi Gong, meditating, or spending time with my friends and family. My mission is to inspire others to embrace a healthy lifestyle while enjoying the journey of cooking and eating well. Join me as we explore the world of good food and good vibes together!
