DIY, hands-on learning, and being alone while doing it is how I\u00a0learn best.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooking influences<\/strong>: I\u2019ve never really been influenced by any chefs or anything in the past. I am influenced mostly by nature and to be honest, fruits and veggies have probably been my biggest influence! Though, <a href=\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/life\/food\/under-the-sun-cafe-makes-raw-vegan-food-taste-good-and-not-just-for-vegans\/\">since creating Under the Sun with Chrissy<\/a>, I have met other chefs who actually have influenced me. They have inspired me to allow myself to have more fun instead of stressing while trying to reach for perfection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Earliest food memory<\/strong>: My earliest food memories aren\u2019t exactly my favorites, so I\u2019d rather mention the good ones: those that are being made at our cafe and the events we do with other chefs in the community. <a href=\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/life\/long-beach-musicians-chefs-set-to-share-their-wares-at-music-tastes-good\/\">Working at Music Tastes Good<\/a> was really a great experience, from the stress I\u00a0put on myself for two months prior, all the way through the end cleanup. I learned a lot about my capacity and what I\u00a0am capable of and I\u00a0had a blast. It helped me to see that I can allow myself to enjoy the entire process and I\u00a0can survive, and even thrive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instagram:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/underthesunlb\">@underthesunlb<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rainbowjuicelb\">@rainbowjuicelb<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dawnaapproved\">@dawnaapproved<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The chef says her base cheesecake becomes &#8220;a canvas to do whatever I&#8217;m feeling in the day.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":241,"featured_media":65723,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","inline_featured_image":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":"","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_":"","_author_alias":"","cap-aim":"","cap-description":"","cap-display_name":"","cap-first_name":"","cap-jabber":"","cap-last_name":"","cap-linked_account":"","cap-newspack_employer":"","cap-newspack_job_title":"","cap-newspack_phone_number":"","cap-newspack_role":"","cap-user_email":"","cap-user_login":"","cap-website":"","cap-yahooim":"","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_email_html":"","newspack_email_type":"","newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_hide_page_title":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_show_share_buttons":"","newspack_sponsor_byline_prefix":"","newspack_sponsor_disclaimer_override":"","newspack_sponsor_flag_override":"","newspack_sponsor_only_direct":"","newspack_sponsor_url":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[3,54,147],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food","tag-instagram","tag-chefs","tag-video","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/241"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193"},{"taxonomy":"newspack_spnsrs_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newspack_spnsrs_tax?post=193"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
