Chef Marisa Baggett trained at the California Sushi Academy in Los Angeles, beginning her career in seafood-focused sushi bars. As she deepened her understanding of seafood sustainability, she became an advocate for responsible sourcing, teaching sushi classes and writing cookbooks to share her knowledge.

After more than two decades working with seafood driven sushi, Marisa made the decision to focus exclusively on plant-based creations. She believes great sushi should not only delight the palate but also honor the planet.

Beyond the kitchen, Marisa leads workshops and speaks on mindful eating, helping people cultivate a deeper connection to food through technique, creativity, and intention.
