Cassie's Culinary Creations

  Hi, I am Sammi Turner, a Personal Chef in the Portland, Oregon area. My main focus is providing busy, hardworking families with healthy, filling and extremely flavorful meals.

 

  Food was a passion of mine since I was a young child. I grew up in a VERY italian family. Food was, and is our life. As I got older, I started experimenting with food and preparing meals for my family. After high school, I thought my passion was Criminology and Criminal Justice. After going through a year of school at Portland State University, I came to the conclusion that my real passion was cooking. All I could ever focus on was food. I knew the only logical thing to do next was to pursue my dream of becoming a chef. 

 

  In 2010, I attended Oregon Culinary Institute, where I graduated and received my Culinary Arts Degree in April of 2011. After graduating, I went on to work for multiple schools as the Hot Lunch Coordinator/Food Services Director. At these schools, I had the opportunity to completely re-vamp the hot lunch menu. I was able to create a healthier, made-from-scratch menu that not only I would eat, but the kids would eat and enjoy as well.

 

  My goal is to help others explore my unique culinary creations and hopefully share my passion for food with you along the way. If you take this journey with me, you will not be disappointed!
