About Chef Pandee Pearson:
Graduating from California Culinary Academy in 1988, Pandee has been honored to learn from mentors with reputable cheffing careers: Wolfgang Puck, Dean Fearing (The Mansion on Turtle Creek, Dallas), Cindy Pawlcyn (Mustards Grill, Napa Valley), Jody Denton (Restarant LuLu, Auzie, and Zizibbo, San Francisco), and Marc Valiani (Jianna, San Francisco). Over the past 20 years, Chef Pandee has headed up some of the most beloved restaurants on the Central Coast including Windows on the Water, Adelina's Bistro at the Monarch Club Trilogy, Gardens of Avila, and Lido at Dolphin Bay. Pandee’s multicultural health conscience cuisine revolves around seasonal high quality fresh ingredients taking great care in preparation and sound cooking methods. “I feel the ingredients should be the 'stars' and the chef’s job is to create interesting combinations that are complimentary and reflect balance”. Other influences have come from her travels across America, France, Italy, Mexico and her home state of California where she frequents restaurants, wineries, food artisans, and markets taking pictures and tasting everything possible returning home with specialized utensils, ingredients, and cookbooks. “Cooking is not just my job, but part of a lifestyle that is connected with everything else I love.”
