At The Malibu Chef, organic cuisine isn’t a trend—it’s the foundation. Founded by chef and creator Lisa Stalvey, the kitchen reflects over two decades of hands-on culinary experience and a deep respect for quality ingredients.

 

Lisa has spent years in the culinary world, working alongside acclaimed chefs including Wolfgang Puck and Ken Frank, and leading the kitchen at one of Los Angeles’ most talked-about restaurants, Bambu in Malibu, winning Top 100 chef's in America 3 consecutive times. That experience shapes every dish she creates—thoughtful, vibrant, and rooted in real nourishment.

 

Each meal is crafted with intention, creativity, and care, bringing restaurant-level flavor into food that genuinely supports your well-being. Lisa is endlessly curious in the kitchen, always evolving, experimenting, and pushing herself to create dishes that feel both exciting and deeply satisfying.
