Chef Alynn Silliman
Chef At Home in Chula Vista
Get to know me better
I’m Alynn, a creator of fresh, plentiful & nourishing food. Cooking is my connection to our colorful & flavorful world.
I am a self-taught Chef.
Wildly addicted to gathering people around a table. To share in the ritual of eating, drinking & storytelling. To bring my type of plentiful & rustic food to those who love to eat.
Originally from the small town of Millport, NY (population 200), I moved to San Diego 24 years ago. Only in the last 10 years have I followed my dream of cooking. From pop-up dinners to opening a brick and mortar restaurant during Covid, it’s been an adventure and I would love to share this passion and my food with you.
I describe my food as elevated rustic cuisine with vivid colors, the freshest possible ingredients (local and organic where possible) and portions that leave you satisfied. I love creating customized multi-course menus based on guests favorite items and food restrictions. As a person with food sensitivities, I have become known for catering to dietary needs (especially gluten free).
I love creating large grazing tables, custom desserts and so much more.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
A love letter to my roots… the woods, streams & farms of western NY. An expression of love & connection. An exploration of flavor.
I learned to cook at...
Home. Raised on hunting, fishing, gardening & preserving I learned the value of real food, respect for ingredients & the fundamentals of flavor.
A cooking secret...
Using real, fresh ingredients (organic & local). Being fearless with flavor combinations. Butter is king. Gluten is never necessary.
