Executive Chef
About Auset
Auset is a New York City native, currently
residing in Oakland, California. She has worked
in the food services industry for over 13 years.
Her training began learning vegetarian and vegan
cuisine, working as a cook at a not-for-profit yoga
and meditation retreat site in Upstate New York,
and India for a few years. After her time there,
she attended and graduated from the Culinary Institute
of America in Hyde Park, New York and studied Culinary Arts.
Shortly after, Auset traveled through Italy and France
WWOOFing (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farm)
on organic farms and Bed and Breakfast's, learning
authentic French and Italian cuisine.
Upon returning back home to New York City, Auset started
working as a Private Chef and became a certified Health Coach
from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. At tis time
she also transitioned from working as a line cook to a pastry
cook. As a Private Chef, she cooked for people with dietary
restrictions and special dietary needs with the intention to
support people in healing themselves through food and maintaining
a healthy lifestyle.
Auset has worked and staged in fine dining and Michelin Star
in New York, LA and Paris such as Restaurant Daniel, Trois Mic and
Le Chateaubriand. Auset has always loved baking, and due to her own
health issues, over time, it was note possible to continue eating baked
goods with refined sugar, wheat, gluten, dairy and these items
not affect her health. She has always been interested in making
gluten-free, vegan and refined sugar-free desserts and her
restaurant experience in pastry allowed her to develop the skills
to create her own recipes and create desserts that she
would want to eat.
It is very rare to hav a gluten-free dessert that is also refined
sugar-free, and vegan. Or a vegan dessert that isn't loaded with
sugar and also gluten-free. This is how the idea of Sweet Love
came to be. All Sweet Love desserts are vegan, gluten-free and
refined sugar-free. No one gets left out.
