MY STORY
From software sales to your kitchen
I have loved cooking delicious, healthy food since I was young, when I worked through my own nutritional challenges in the kitchen. My story really began the day I left my software sales job and told everyone I knew that I now owned a catering company. They had no idea at the time where it would lead!
Over the next decade I ran that catering company in San Francisco, cooked in kitchens in France and San Francisco, including Michelin-starred restaurants, and spent a few years each as a chef for the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Winning the championship with the Cavaliers in 2016 is still one of the most exciting moments of my life.
Then COVID hit. Our catering kitchen quickly became too expensive to keep, and that business faded into the past. So we brought the kitchen to you. Today Anja Lee & Company hosts live, chef-led cooking, cocktail and fluid art classes for teams of every size, with kits shipped to every doorstep.
Along the way I won the Food Network's Supermarket Stakeout in 2022, competed on Cutthroat Kitchen, became a Certified Sommelier and wrote the cookbook How to Cook Healthier.
These days I live part time in France and part time in the US. I cook right alongside you in every class, and every recipe is one I happily make at home. My goal is to help your team find the joy in cooking, too!
