About

Chef Mo

Chef Mo is a Brooklyn-based private chef and pastry specialist trained at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE).

She studied advanced sugar techniques under Ron Ben-Israel, the celebrated pastry chef known as the Sweet Genius, and has worked alongside Amanda Freitag and Brooke Baevsky (Chef Bae). She has cooked for celebrities including Emma Roberts and brings extensive high-end luxury catering experience to every engagement.
