Meet Liz, one of our culinary stars at Thomas Cuisine! 🌟👩🏻‍🍳

A self-taught and industry-taught chef, Liz loves creating ethnic fusion dishes like ahi poke tostadas and Cajun seafood Alfredo. Her love for Asian cooking started early, with her father introducing her to traditional Japanese fare like udon noodle soup. Liz’s heart belongs to Asian cuisine—fresh veggies, fermented condiments, authentic spices, rice, seafood, and stir-frying are her specialties!
