Chef David Heredia is a young chef with extensive culinary experience. He was born in Baja California, Mexico, in a small town called San Quintín. Growing up watching his mother and grandmother cook, Chef David Heredia discovered his love for food, leading him to study at a culinary school. He completed his studies at the UABC (Autonomous University of Baja California), where he attended the School of Culinary Arts and Enology.
He decided to travel around his country to learn about traditional cuisine and different culinary techniques. Chef David Heredia specializes in seafood and has extensive knowledge of Mediterranean cuisine. He also has a talent for baking and pastry.
He then returned to his hometown where he joined one of the most prominent restaurants in his town, Posada Don Diego Restaurant, and has also collaborated with several restaurants in the area, such as Miyako Sushi, Finca del Valle, and La Cueva del Pirata, among others.
Chef David Heredia moved to San Antonio, Texas seven years ago, where he developed his culinary expertise while working for catering companies and serving as a personal chef for professional NBA basketball players, prominent business leaders, and famous personalities. Thanks to the variety of projects he has collaborated on, his culinary experience is broad and extensive.
Her professional culinary path began when she was approached to replace the kosher supervisor and cook at an older Jewish men’s school in their gated community of Sea Gate, Brooklyn. The school housed 20 or more students who lived and studied there day and night, requiring three to four meals daily. Chef Stonah was excited to have her own two kitchens where she could create freely without supervision. She elevated the standard of Yeshiva cooking to such heights that word of mouth about her culinary skills spread internationally. Young and older men would travel from Ukraine, Russia, and across the United States not only to learn from some of the world’s best Rabbis but also to be nourished by her wholesome food filled with love and light. Students often told her how much her cooking recharged them for their Torah studies, and many of these students are now Rabbis serving communities worldwide.
In 2015, Chef Stonah and her family relocated to San Antonio, where she continued to put her talents to work as Kosher Supervisor and Cook for Chabad of San Antonio and the Jewish Community Center (JCC). She has catered numerous wonderful events, always embracing the philosophy that “the more the merrier” because she loves seeing guests enjoy her food with smiles on their faces, knowing their stomachs are satisfied.
Chef Stonah strives to infuse love and light into all her creations while putting fresh twists on traditional kosher Jewish foods. She believes that almost anything found on different menus can be transformed into a kosher dish. Her culinary influences come from the wonderful people in the world around her, and she welcomes new ideas and concepts they bring to her. Her ultimate goal is to share the love and light within all of us to help heal our precious world.
