Chef Jocelyn Lee Bio
Born & raised in San Francisco, California – I was influenced by my mother’s passion & discipline for traditional yet broad Asian-fusion home cooking made from scratch with fresh produce & unprocessed foods. I grew up in a very large family. As my father ran his business in the Italian North Beach District, my mother worked 2 part-time jobs in San Francisco’s Union Square & Chinatown. In between her jobs, she would come home & prepare complete elaborate dinners for our very large family, including my grandfather! Being the “Cinderella” of the household, I took responsibility of household chores to relieve my mother and oftentimes prepped & cooked family dinners per her instructions & techniques. Immersed in San Francisco’s diversity of cultures, we enjoyed & learned appreciation of cuisines from all over the world.
I lived overseas for many years and cooked with amazing local cooks & chefs in Nepal, India, Singapore, Hawaii, and Thailand. In Nepal, I opened & operated a health food restaurant-juice bar-bakery serving foreign consulates, mountain trekkers & tourists, WHO team members, Peace Corps workers, and diplomats. In Marin County, California I founded and operated 2 full service Fine Dining Japanese Cuisine Restaurants serving celebrities, rock stars, politicians & renowned dignitaries whilst earning 4 out of 4 stars & glowing accolades by San Francisco’s restaurant critics. Food safety always in the forefront, I wrote the first restaurant-retail HACCP plan validated by MCED. Later, my company Gourmet Rail Services, contracted with Amtrak California for 14 years as its exclusive preferred caterer-general services vendor earning high ratings & mentions by critics for fresh & restaurant quality food. I am now a freelance Culinary Development-Quality Assurance-Nutrition Value Analyst proudly working with San Francisco’s artisan gourmet food companies.
