Meet the Chef
Carsten Rode found his love for food at an early age. Growing up in Europe, he enjoyed traveling and cooking with his family. When he moved to the US, he realized that many of the foods were processed here, and as a young adult, he began to feel ill from them. He started cooking to feel better, learning at a young age that food can serve your health.
He followed that passion into formal studies and graduated with a hospitality degree. Carsten worked for the Four Seasons in Food & Beverage management. During this time, he began to transform his curiosity for cooking into skill, staging with chefs at the Four Seasons.
As life brought him to the Pacific Northwest, he returned to school after discovering the benefits of acupuncture and Eastern medicine. Now, as a Licensed Acupuncture and Eastern Medicine provider, he appreciates the nutritional components of cooking from an Eastern perspective.
He enjoys exploring a diverse flavor profile and fusion. He weaves European culinary skills with his Eastern nutritional knowledge to deliver nourishing foods in an elevated way. He believes food should be not only comforting but healing too.
His specialization is providing an Eastern/Western fusion during postpartum recovery, following traditional Eastern practices. He also has experience catering weddings, events, dinners, and personalized chef services, including postpartum meal planning and clients undergoing cancer treatments.
