Owner Margaret Riesen, a native of Switzerland and Australia, brings an eclectic culinary heritage to her menus. A long-time vegetarian and teacher of vegetarian cuisine, she understands the art of creating marvelous vegetarian alternatives to popular dishes, substituting vegetarian proteins for animal proteins.

Margaret entertains and educates the readers of Malibu Monthly Magazine with her monthly column. And students of her cooking classes in Santa Barbara's Continuing Education program discover new passions for fresh and natural flavors.

Supporting other local vegetarian food artisans such as Sojourner Cafe and the Certified Farmer's Markets is another way that Margaret extends her expertise and enthusiasm for healthy cuisine. The Vegetarian Gourmet is also a member of Santa Barbara Event Professionals, and is listed in Catering HQ.

Let the Vegetarian Gourmet cater your event or wedding, whether it is an intimate grouping or a large gathering. To arrange a complimentary consultation, call Margaret at 805-967-9848 today!
