Welcome

Thank you for visiting ENERGE!

I am MaryAnne, a self-taught personal chef for teams and athletes.

My Path

My Nana is the reason I love to cook. Watching her in the kitchen was magical, so I knew from a very young age I wanted to be just like her. She would always tell me, “a recipe is just an idea,” and that is what gave me the confidence to deviate from recipes and trust my instincts.
 
I am happiest when friends and family are enjoying my food, so it pushes me to always improve. I want everyone to continue to have a new and exciting experience when they sit down to eat. Reading, researching, and learning from the best performance chefs, I enjoy creating a healthy spin on the foods I grew up with, both locally and around the world.

In the fall of 2021, I had the opportunity to cook for a professional cycling camp at Tucson’s renowned PACE Ranch. It was a big leap for me, but I was thrilled for the opportunity to do what I do best: I cooked like my Nana and treated everyone like family. And it was a hit.

My Mission

Providing performance food and atmosphere with a careful attention to athlete’s needs.
