About Chef Suzette

Vegan Suzette’s Bakery is the creation of celebrity Chef Suzette.   It all began back in 2008, when Chef Suzette, after finishing her graduate degree from a top Chicago university and with certification as a Nutritionist, won a baking contest with updating her Grandmother’s recipe for a “skinny” version of fabulous Flourless Fudge Cake (still on our menu today, seasonally). 

After that win, Suzette decided to follow her true passion of cooking and went to Europe to expand her dreams of baking professionally. Fluent in French, she studied pastry making with some of the greatest chefs in France, Germany and England.  

Suzette came back to the US and began a prolific career as one of the top Food Journalists in the country (see highlights of her articles featured in our “Press” section). With her recipes and articles published in many prestigious magazines, her real break came when she won the award for "Best Salsa in Arizona" in 2011, and her vegan salsa was served on the menu at over 14 restaurants in Arizona and Las Vegas. 

From that win, her fabulous "Satan's Salsa" continued to grow. To this day, her Satan's Salsa spicy "Habanero Hell" salsa is still a favorite. Chef Suzette has won numerous other awards for her culinary creations, including "Best Cranberry Cookie" from the Cranberry Association and "Best Chocolate Pastry" from the European Chocolatiers Assn.  Her Vegan Fudge Brownies are definitely award-winning with delicious clean ingredients! 

As a vegetarian for many years and with her training as a certified nutritionist, all the bakery on the menu at  Vegan Suzette’s is not only delicious, but wholesome for your family  - with no artificial colors, preservatives or flavorings.  Suzette's food philosophy is that "Everything going into your body should taste good and be good for you!" As a pioneer in the "mindful food movement," Suzette believes in "no empty calories," so Vegan Suzette‘s food is prepared to be as low in calories with nutritional benefits. Proudly serving many happy fans over years in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
