She currently lives in new york and is currently the most popular vegetarian chef.

She has no money, no background and no prominent family background. 20 13 Before starting a business in new york, she was always an ordinary female student.

Now, famous designers, artists and TV stars are her guests.

No matter how famous you are, if you want to eat her delicious food, you must make an appointment at least one month in advance.

What is even more unexpected is that the girl who captured all the diners in new york with her good cooking skills once suffered from anorexia.

She saved herself while trying to cook.

Now, I share this power from food with more people.

My father is from Shanghai and my mother is from Guangdong. There are delicious foods everywhere.

Daphne Cheng is a typical ABC in China.

Although she also loves traditional Chinese food cooked by her mother, Daphne, who lived in Chicago since childhood, still eats all kinds of hamburgers, French fries, butter and coke with her peers.

In adolescence, Daphne, who began to pay attention to appearance, suddenly found herself completely eating into a fat girl.

The little girl who loves beauty has started an unhealthy diet to lose weight again.

So food has become a scourge in her eyes.

Gradually, Daphne even began to have psychological barriers to "putting food in her mouth".

Excessive dieting made her anorexia.

When Daphne looked at herself in the mirror one day, she suddenly got scared.

"Do I know this man in the mirror?"

"Is this really what you want?"

"Is there anything else I can do to help myself?"

Daphne decided to cook by herself and tried to get herself to start eating again.

Although it was very hard at the beginning, Daphne worked hard and enjoyed the process for the sake of health.

Besides cooking by herself, she also reads many books and articles about food and nutrition.

Professor Campbell of Cornell University's "Life-saving Diet" based on the investigation of eating habits, lifestyles and disease longevity in 24 provinces of China has also entered Daphne's sight.

The book expounds that in today's increasingly affluent era, the eating habits of animal-based diets are positively related to diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and Alzheimer's disease.

This book allowed Daphne to confirm her healthy vegetarian plan.

With the healthy diet, Daphne's health and mental state have also improved.

And she also found herself in love with cooking and the magical process of turning ingredients into delicious food in her own hands.

After graduating from high school, Daphne was admitted to the famous UCLA.

According to her parents' expectation, she should study, graduate and get a job step by step, and become a "good job" like a lawyer.

But after careful consideration, Daphne decided to drop out of school after her freshman year.

She feels that since she has found something she loves, she should pursue this career.

First, she went to Cornell University in new york, where the author of "Life-saving Diet" is located, and studied nutrition and obtained a certificate.

Then he received formal training as a chef at Natural Cuisine College, a famous healthy diet and cooking school.

Although I dropped out of school to start a business and pursue my dream. But Daphne has a very rational and decisive thinking and analysis of what she wants to do.

She rented a house in the famous Tribeca penthouse in Manhattan.

Although the rent is high, there are many celebrities, artists and rich people gathered here. They are all people who are more likely to be interested in Daphne's healthy vegetarian concept and exquisite food.

Daphne paid the rent with all her savings without hesitation.

Daphne holds an underground dinner club in her apartment 2-3 times a week.

Everyone is sitting around a long table. Because Daphne wants everyone to chat together and get to know each other while eating.

I came as a stranger and became friends when I left.

In order to make it easier for guests to remember and find themselves, Daphne's personal chef's name is also very concise and lively, called Suite ThreeOhSix, which comes from the house number 306 of her apartment.

When Daphne cooks, guests can see the whole process through the transparent glass.

This beautiful cooking program is an excellent appetizer for dinner.

When eating, Daphne will carefully observe the reaction of the guests.

At the end of the meal, I will go out of the kitchen to greet everyone, sit down and have a glass of champagne together, and ask the guests about the areas that need improvement.

Gradually, Daphne became famous.

More and more people come to the door, hoping to have a taste of her craft.

From the initial overdraft credit card to bear the operating expenses of private kitchens, to the door-to-door guests need to queue up for reservations.

Of course, to conquer picky new york diners, you can't just rely on beautiful gimmicks.

Daphne's private kitchen is most famous for its diverse and delicious food.

Because it is vegetarian, it is more delicious. Daphne said that she didn't want people to think that vegetarianism means eating grass, and sticking to vegetarianism means living an unhappy and hard life.

Daphne prefers to call herself a "vegetable connoisseur" rather than a cook.

She likes to go to the market and buy all kinds of fresh seasonal ingredients by herself.

I also believe that my mother taught her the idea of China people that eating seasonal food is always the best for your health.

Daphne never follows established recipes when cooking.

She saw that the ingredients would plan new uses, collocations and cooking methods in her mind.

The endless stream of fresh ideas has enabled Daphne to cook more than 800 completely different delicious dishes in three years.

No matter the style or taste, guests who come to private kitchens are always full of surprises and expectations for the dishes to be served.

Chinese dim sum cooked by my mother as a child has also become one of the inspiration sources for Daphne's cooking.

Daphne, who is becoming more and more famous in new york food circle, has also started to get more excellent job opportunities.

In 20 14, Daphne provided dinner with Matthew and Taylor Coard for the 20 14 new york International Wine and Food Festival.

At the age of 24, she also became the youngest female chef in the whole food festival.

Ravi Dross is a celebrity in catering. He runs several restaurants and bars on the Upper East Side of new york.

This spring, Ravi DeRossi decided to transform one of her most popular bars, Mother of Pearl, into a vegetarian bar.

After establishing the concept of "beautiful and delicious", he immediately thought of inviting Daphne as the new chef of the bar.

It took them 1 month to create a brand-new vegetarian menu, which won a large number of fans as soon as it was launched.

Some investors took a fancy to Daphne's talent and creativity. Decided to invest to help her open a high-end vegetarian restaurant of her own.

This restaurant will open at the end of this year. Daphne's recipe for sharing the fun of vegetarian life will also be published soon.

Diners bid farewell to suite 306 in the apartment.

But Daphne Cheng's gourmet life has just begun. Share it!
