RAY LOPEZ
At Cooking What You Crave, I specialize in creating customized culinary experiences that enhance any occasion. Whether you’re hosting a celebration, seeking a private dinner, or looking to enhance your cooking skills, I am committed to bringing the best flavors and unforgettable dining moments right to your table.
Get to know me better:
I was raised in Ventura County, where I came from a large family where all of our celebrations revolved around food. I was always in the kitchen watching, learning, helping, and sometimes tasting.
I draw my inspiration from my Grandparents and my Mother, whose passion for food and running a restaurant lit a fire in me to continue the art of making good food and making people happy.
I followed my dreams, and I trained privately with Chef Eric Crowley from the Culinary Institute of America back in 2008. Since then, I have cooked for the likes of the cast of “Shark Tank”, “The Bachelorette”, and The cast of “90210″. Locally, the annual HRC (Human Rights Campaign), the CEO of Renova Energy and many more.
