Gourmet Girl otherwise known as Michelle Audria, both artist and visionary has been at it since 2001,

weaving the organic choice into not only her diet but lifestyle and artistic path as well. By the age 18 she knew internally that she was suffering from poor health and made a move to San Francisco where she immediately got involved with an art scene that supported alternative choices in food. She would soon be lead by a close friend and mentor to Roxanne Klein of Marin County who owned a 4-star raw food dining restaurant. Here she got her start as a hostess and through personality and self-discipline eventually worked her way into a role as an artistic personal chef, making local deliveries, hosting parties and working in private homes. By 2004, Roxanne's shut its doors and Michelle went on her merry way to LA, land of all dreams where she was certain to make a splash with her creative and cunning ways in the kitchen, a dreamy & green day job.

Sure enough, finding interest in the organic, vegan-raw movement came naturally to Gourmet Girl in Los Angeles. Between working privately, even living-in for 6 months on a private estate in Topanga canyon where she also upheld household and childcare duties and started a private raw chocolate label, Michelle found time and resources to continue chasing down her dreams.

In the summer of 07' she was referred to producer Cathy Konrad and husband writer/director James Mangold who took to her cuisine through a new spawned interests in healthy foods. From weekly meal prep to fine, coursed dinner parties, Gourmet Girl established herself in their charming household and eventually began working fulltime for the Mangolds in 2009.

She traveled with them throughout Boston, Spain and Jamaica while they shot their new movie 'Knight and Day', learning the craft of preparing and sourcing healthy foods while away from the concentrated abundance of California. Working in a household and providing the level of service Gourmet Girl brings to a family has truly molded who she is today in her professional realm as a chef. Currently she is with the Mangolds 3 days a week and looking for another part-time home to bring her services to.

With living foods, local-organic, gluten-free, vegan, primal-raw, gourmet, simple ect food knowledge under her belt, Gourmet Girl has no doubt that the next level of her culinary journey will sweep her off to an amazing adventure. She welcomes whatever the great universe has intended for her next.

Don't hesitate, do it today, make a change, take a risk and never be afraid to reach out in effort of learning a new approach to a healthy, and happy lifestyle.

Best-

Michelle Audria

'Perhaps the key to true success and happiness lies within, awaiting us to seek it out. This delicate process is one which requires not only the individuals examination and process of self, but the pulling together collectively of supporters who agree to this individuals success and genuinely want it for them. Going forward into each moment with a will to improve beyond perceived limits and capacity is our greatest test. Passing this test yields infinite clues to unlocking the secret of the soul the stuff from which happiness and success are born.'
