Chef Aurelius Black-MacKenzie
Seattle Personal Chef
Chef Aurelius 's Bio
Chef Aurelius came to Seattle from Chicago to balance their two loves of cooking and the great outdoors. Most of their career was spent in Michelin-awarded restaurants and training in Italy, where they specialized in old-world cuisines and preservation methods. Aurelius switched from restaurants to private home dining to better pursue sustainability, community, and quality above all else.
As a lover of travel and trying new things, Aurelius has always lived with an open heart and an adventurous palette. Because of this, they cook with passion to reflect the traditions, techniques, and flavors taught to them by master chefs from around the world.

About Down to Earth Cuisine
Down to Earth Cuisine provides meals that are sustainably and responsibly sourced. To help preserve this approach, we use GMO free products, organic when available and wild caught seafood approved by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Guide to Sustainable Fishing.
When we moved over to custom delivery services, it meant having to find new sustainable ways to deliver the meals, using only compostable containers to reduce use and purchasing of plastic. We also work with One Tree Planted a nonprofit organization that plants trees on our behalf to offset our carbon footprint.
