A trained chef, baker, recipe developer, food contributor, food stylist, and artist, Marissa Fisk curates farm-to-fork dishes and menus with locally sourced, organic foods. While she cooks, she sings and prays. “It’s a food ministry,” she says. “My main goal is for people to feel the love in the food, the passion behind the food, and for them to feel their optimal best.”
Her life’s work began 16 years ago with a farmers market venture in Los Angeles. Fisk’s gluten-free baked treats were such a hit that the business evolved into a full-service catering company, feeding celebrities and VIPs on movie sets, at music and motion picture companies, and in their homes.
For the last 13 years, this chef to the stars has applied her talents right here in Dripping Springs, offering seasonal, local, nutrient-dense food cooked slowly and intentionally in small batches. Trained in international cuisine with a focus on gut-health cooking, Fisk endeavors to prepare food that makes people feel good. “If you want to feel good, you have to fill your body with real food,” she says.
With Fisk’s deep understanding of balanced nutrition and a heart for filling people with lovingly prepared food, her flavorful, nourishing meals are an investment in taste, family, and health.
Fisk provides catering for parties, events, and retreats as well as intimate meals prepared in your home or for convenient pickup. From full dinners and lunches to baked goods, charcuterie boards, and grazing islands, she tailors every menu to accommodate dietary preferences, allergies, and wellness goals. “Everything is custom curated for the client, and every event is different,” she shares.
Additionally, Fisk offers meal prep services as well as family-friendly hot dinners and freezable dishes. For busy people, this brings the family together at the dinner table without the daily struggle of meal planning and grocery shopping. “It allows for quality time with family, sharing food like grandma would make for you,” Fisk says.
Her dishes also give her clients the comfort of knowing they are eating wholesome food. “People are more aware of what they’re putting in their body; I cook foods that taste good and are good for you,” she says. “Good, quality food is less expensive than being sick. Clients say the food makes them feel good, and that’s what matters.”
For Fisk, creating delicious, beautiful dishes is an art and passion that transcends cooking; she puts her soul into every meal. “Preparing food is a spiritual thing for me,” she says. “When I prepare food, I’m tapping into a higher place. This food is a medium God is using to heal and help others.”
