About the Chef…
Chef Amber was born and raised in Dallas, TX, the youngest of 3, with family roots split between the Lone Star State and Southern Louisiana in Baton Rouge.
Amber began cooking and baking as a hobby at an early age; helping out in the kitchen at every opportunity, while learning family recipes from her mother’s Louisiana roots. With a family of home cooks and a growing desire to learn any and everything about the culinary world, she knew by the age of 8 she wanted to be a Chef when she grew up. While in college, obtaining a B.S. in Business Management from Grambling State University, the young foodie began studying the art of cooking and baking more seriously and her passion for making great food and serving others continued to grow. After graduating in 2011, culinary school was not in the cards financially, but Amber toiled at making her dreams come true, even while holding a management role in Corporate America. In 2014, Le Rouge Cuisine Food Company was born – founded on Chef Amber’s love for serving others, coupled with her favorite past time of cooking with family from both Texas and Louisiana. ‘Le Rouge Cuisine’ simply translates to “The Red Kitchen” in French, which culminates Amber’s Créole roots, Red as the color of passion, power and zeal and the ‘kitchen’ being her main domain. In 2015, Chef Amber left Corporate America and has been running the business full time ever since.
Since conception, Chef Amber and the Le Rouge Team have had the honor of serving several major corporations, non-profits, celebrities and a host of faithful clients, as well as been featured in several publications, participated in charity cooking competitions and showcases and appeared on nationally syndicated radio and tv news.
Currently, Chef Amber serves the DFW metroplex and surrounding cities providing Special Event catering, Private chef services, live cooking demos and more. She has also recently launched her “Creole Fusion To-go” brand, “Seaux Tasty” that will be housed at The Shed located at the Dallas Farmers Market. All centered around a Creole Fusion brand, Chef Amber creates experiences that share her roots and determination to cultivate organic spaces where food is the center of the experience.
