Owner, Cherubina Catering
Chef Tamara Westerhold is a proud third-generation San Franciscan. In the early 1900s, her family emigrated from Spain, not surprisingly a country that inspires so much of her cooking today.
A debt of gratitude spurred her on to become the first woman in her family to attend college. She graduated with a degree in Social Work and Nonprofit Management. While this work was fulfilling, it simply couldn’t compete with the joy she felt in the kitchen. She loved recreating family recipes and celebrating holidays over food.
Still following her deep devotion to serve others, Chef Tamara decided that her medium to do just that would be through food. She has since pursued her goal of making people feel special through providing an experience built on the love of sharing delicious food.
Chef Tamara has a passion for travel, with Spain and Italy among her favorite destinations. She hopes to continue her adventures abroad, as it inspires and influences her culinary work.
