Indigenous Fusion Cuisine with Heart
Award-winning chef, cultural storyteller, and wellness advocate.


Bosho!
I’m Chef Pyet Despain.
Pyet’s Plate is my way of sharing the beauty of Indigenous fusion cuisine.
I blend the traditions of Native American and Mexican foodways with modern culinary creativity, offering private chef services, catering, and educational experiences.
My mission is to honor ancestral flavors, support sustainable food practices, and create meaningful connections through food.
Every dish I create tells a story, one of culture, resilience, and the deep ties between food and community.


Coming Soon:
Rooted in Fire
Launching November 18, 2025 — Pyet’s debut cookbook, Rooted in Fire, is more than just a collection of recipes. It’s a celebration of ancestral foodways, seasonal ingredients, and cultural storytelling.
With over 60 dishes that connect land, legacy, and flavor, this book invites you to cook with intention and honor every bite.
