About the Chef

Tina DeJesus

For the past ten plus years Chef Tina DeJesus has been working as a high-end private chef in the Hamptons, hosting yoga retreats, doing meal preparation, & teaching cooking classes.

Chef Tina was formally trained at Le Cordon Bleu where she learned the art of French cuisine. Right after graduating she worked in a fine dining seafood restaurant gaining experience as a line cook. From there her career lead her to catering large events & intimate dinner parties. While she followed her passion as a cook Chef Tina also split her time with working as a lead server, bartender, & Maitre D making her the perfect host.

Spending over ten years working in hospitality lead Tina to living an unhealthy lifestyle of late-nights followed by sleeping all day and repeating the same cycle. She decided to change her way of living in 2013, where she dove into all thing’s vegetarian, nutrition, mental health, and movement. Which lead her to creating VegHead Chef where she now creates seasonal plant-based meals that are suited to fit any lifestyle, dietary restriction and unique preferences. All the while keeping it nutritious and simple!
