Meet Chef Velvet Phara

Velvet Pharastina, 35, Miami-Dade, FL.

Mother of Two Magnificent Sons; Kyng and Kyon Johnson. I give all glory and thanks to God Almighty. Cooking isn’t a talent or skill I suddenly picked up and explored. It is  my God-Given inheritance.

From grocery shopping at Winn Dixie every Friday and Saturday night, to sitting around the table splitting fresh pole beans, to enjoying the time I spent with my grandma in the kitchen taught me the power cooking actually holds.

Love, Unity and Peace is the magic my grandma shared with everyone; simply comforting the world plate by plate. So will I, plate by plate.
