Marguerrite Cerredo

Marguerite grew up outside of Paris, France. She credits her painter father for instilling her love of the culinary arts. After attending culinary school at August Escoffier, she decided to take advantage of her dual citizenship, and moved to the United States in 2015. After some years as a sous chef in Florida, she was drawn to Santa Barbara, mostly due to our region's incredible produce. Marguerite has been a wonderful addition to the Pure Joy team. We benefit greatly from her strong palette, leadership skills, and passion for simple food cooked perfectly. You can catch Marguerite shopping at the Saturday farmers market, leading our prep team at our headquarters, killing it in the kitchen at events, or drawing on her days off.
