Chef Steph's Hi! I'm Chef Steph! Connecting local farmers and customers by making and showcasing delicious food! Welcome to Chef Steph's! Food is my true love!!

Come on down to my kitchen for a bite to eat!! I am Steph Rauzi, I have been in the culinary industry since I was 13 years old! They say "When you know, you know", well there is no doubt in my mind where I belong, mind, body and soul. I LOVE every aspect of food!! We hear the phrase, "From Farm to Table", well it's really so much more then that! It's so much more then "Farm to Fork", it's about the journey that all of us farmers, growers, gardeners, cooks and chefs put into this whole process that delivers all the feels that go along with "Farm to Fork" slogans. I am here to open the door between farmers, growers and suppliers to connect them directly with my customers! I have worked very closely with a lot of small farmers, growers, producers, bakers, tea makers, coffee roasters and more and now I have the privelege to bring all of these aspects to the table, to my customers table! People laugh when I am 3 days in front of an event and holding no menu, just pieces, ideas, and thoughts. It's that moment I send the messages out to my friends asking what's in stock? What do I have to play with today? That's the moment I live for! The creation of delicious food with some of the most delicious ingredients I have sourced from my friends and neighbors to then turn around and share it with all of you, my community, that is what I love! My menu will change like the Midwest Season. I don't believe in doing the same thing over and over and over. I love to try new ideas out, new ingredients, new fun things and I am always open for ideas!! I may not run with it, but it may help inspire the finished product! I'm an open book! Come on down for some good grub and a chat!!

Yesterday I had to have a coming to Jesus talk with myself and here's why...

When it comes to me and making/sharing my creations, I have a hard time remembering that I started my weekend stand for fun. I made the choice so I could still have fun with food, creating new items and sharing them with my community, friends and previous customers.

What is really hard for me to drive into my brain is that I am doing this for fun and not for my income, as I have done for MANY years!!

For many many years of my life, my creations were my income. I needed people to walk through my shop doors or put in orders, so that I could afford to pay my bills, take care of my kids, buy groceries, etc. That's no longer the case.

I now have an amazing job that I love, but most importantly my income from that job provides for ALL of my needs.

I don't NEED to bake!
I don't NEED to have my stand.

That is having a really hard time settling in me. When I first started the stand, I would work my regular job, then come home and prep everyday after work til about 11pm, bake all night Friday, take a little 3 hour nap and be back up around 4-5am to bake off everything else.

That left me completely exhausted on my weekends and by Monday, when my regular work week started again, I had a negative balance in my energy tank.

This realization has led me to make a change!

Going forward, my stand will be open most Sundays, unless I am out adventuring like I will be doing at the end of the month.

SUNDAY STAND HOURS WILL BE 8AM-DUSK.

I will start posting the menus on Fridays so you know what will be offered and can plan ahead if you need items for the week or simply want to grab a couple treats!🥰 You can also preorder items so you can just swing by and grab your bag and ensure you get the treats you really want!

I am going to work on enjoying my days off more and spending more relaxed time in the kitchen playing with new ideas!

I have been enjoying baking for you all and I am excited for what this new found energy will allow me to create moving forward!

As always, if you have special requests, let me know and I will see what I can do!! Thanks to all who continually stop by for yummy treats!!

Today I had the honor of helping one of my best friends with the food for her daughter's bridal shower!

All together the food included the grazing table, pulled pok sandwiches and vanilla cupcakes with a cream cheese frosting, some filled with fresh lemon curd and topped with blueberries and lemon zest.

Tracy Turner, so excited to be a part of this process! Just sorry I couldn't stick around for the celebration! Hope you guys had a great time!❤️❤️❤️
