While my roots remain firmly planted in the farm-to-table ethos, I have evolved as a chef to meet the diverse needs of my clientele. From serving as a private chef for families in Los Angeles to leading culinary experiences at women's retreats across the country, I've had the privilege of sharing my passion for food with people from all walks of life.
Through my culinary lens, I invite you to join me on a journey where every ingredient tells a story and every bite is an opportunity to savor the flavors of the season. Let's create unforgettable dining experiences together!
Meet Chef Courtney Jean…
I stumbled upon farming almost 10 years ago and it completely revolutionized my approach to food. I firmly believe that the foundation of great cuisine lies in the quality of our ingredients, which is why I'm so passionate about sourcing locally and sustainably. Every dish I create is a testament to this commitment to fresh, flavorful ingredients.
In 2018, I founded Back to Basics, a company dedicated to providing meticulously curated dining experiences. Our signature four-course dinners feature ingredients harvested on the very same day, resulting in a culinary journey that engages all the senses. We even made sure to reserve a seat for the farmer, fostering insightful discussions about sustainable farming practices.
