Team Rebecca & Daniel
Rebecca and Daniel share a deep passion for quality food and ingredients. They met at a party where, so pleased with what she tasted, Rebecca insisted on meeting the chef. It was “love at first bite!” The couple has been working together ever since to create joy through the incredible events they create. They love to give back to the community by volunteering at a food pantry with Interfaith Health Clinic.
