INTERVIEW WITH MARK MEDOZA

Pyet is a loving, ambitious and highly driven individual who seeks to find wholeness and happiness in life. I find myself getting closer to wholeness when I am cooking and sharing food with others. My career as a private chef allows me to align myself with true happiness and purpose.

DAILY INSPIRATION

http://voyagela.com/interview/daily-inspiration-meet-pyet-despain/

I am a Private Chef, I specialize in Indigenous Fusion Cuisine. I take both of my culture heritage and combined them together to create fusion dishes. I am most proud of the merchandise I recently launched. I sell traditional Native American berry sauce called Wojapi and these really fun shirts and hat. But mostly the Wojapi Sauce! It allows me to share my culture and creations with others that may not be able to hire me to cook Indigenous Fusion Food for them.
