Simply Cooking by MmmChef

Host

Daniela Crocco

Hi! I’m Daniela and I am the chef behind the pineapple!

Why a pineapple? Well that is a long story that relates to my favourite band and a friendship tattoo I have…….ask me about it when we meet up I’d be happy to explain!  But pineapples are also a symbol of hospitality and welcome, they are jam packed with anti inflammatory nutrients, digestion aiding enzymes and of course are fantastically delicious exactly what MmmChef is all about!

I have hosted cooking classes, facilitated large scale catering events, coordinated youth cooking camps and lessons, and I’ve worked in the behind the scenes kitchens of food television productions on Canada's Gusto Tv.

I grew up with an Italian chef for a dad and in a restaurant industry family that has always been super passionate about REAL WHOLE food.  I have travelled the planet opening up my palette to many cuisines.

I THRIVE to bring healthy nutritious and convenient food to people just like you, bringing you back around the kitchen table and back to balance with every meal!

Daniela was voted Ottawa Faces Magazines 2019 Favourite Chef, and MmmChef won 2020's Favourite Meal Service!!

Now in 2020, MmmChef is approaching a new step in its evolution. Daniela and her husband Wendell are creating their own Kitchen and Cafe – By MmmChef.  This will be a community space for workshops or cooking classes, an intimate private dining location, as well as a grab and go cafe!
