I can cook too!
Welcome to À La Tom, my little corner of the internet where I share my passion for food and culinary arts! When I’m not yearning for the stage, you will probably find me in the nearest kitchen experimenting with flavors, developing recipes, and perfecting my knife cuts. I’ve worked as a personal chef both in Cincinnati and New York City, but I mostly just cook for the people I love and exchange knowledge through social media exploration!
Where it all began!
If you asked little Tomi wanted they wanted to be when they grew up, you would have gotten an enthusiastic: “a chef!” Around the time I started falling in love with musical theatre was around when I realized the pressure and confinement of working in a commercial kitchen was not for me. Luckily, I brought my passion for culinary arts into my adulthood, and I realized I could bring my love for cooking wherever my musical theatre career takes me! I take a globally-inspired approach to everything I make, and I love finding fun ways to give a plant-based spin to my favorite traditional dishes.
What everyone is saying!
“À La Tom was a lifesaver through show weeks. Great food and just what I needed to push through.” - Sam Yousuf (Meal Prep Service)
“I have been trying to eat more plant-based foods over the years and love Tomi’s dishes not just for the local-sourced, freshest ingredients, but the complexity and depth of every dish is elite level!” - Lorrenda Sherrer (Lunch Service)
“Tomi made the most delicious vegan meal I’ve ever had in my life. Their ability to adjust to the gluten intolerance in our group while still maintaining the plant base was so impressive! They bring a great energy to any space they’re in and make a truly wonderful meal.” - Maya Bishop (Group Dinner Service)
