How did you get started doing this type of work?

Dayo ("Dah-yo") is the Owner and Executive Chef of DayoSense Catering in Seattle, WA. Her food balances the heart and soul of the South and the celebration of ingredients one finds with Italian cuisine. A native of Seattle, Dayo graduated from University of Washington with a degree in Architecture. However, after being a designer for 8 years, her passions guided her to the exciting medium of food. Always the one to create and enjoy atmospheres of warmth and family over food she started sharing her love of cooking by serving dinners to-go, promoting Seattle families to "Stop, Eat and Fellowship". After graduating with gold cord honors from the International Culinary School Art Institute of Seattle, Dayo hit the ground running developing her catering business DayoSense, and joining the ranks of Chefs speaking on behalf of healthy foods and nutrition for the African American community. She enjoys creating celebrated comfort dishes with fresh, seasonal and local ingredients. Through cooking classes, mentorship, and hands on training, Dayo is in action about having a legacy of genuine love and joy for excellent customer service, moving and shaking in the kitchen, and creating memorable catered events.
