I have an exciting announcement! My step sister, Kali, and I have launched a new site exploring the Mediterranean Diet. Kali came up with the idea because she wanted her family to eat more healthily and noticed most recipes on the web for this diet were mostly Middle Eastern. While she loves this cuisine, she didn't necessarily want to have it for every meal. So she asked me to come up with more eclectic recipes using the ingredients favored by the diet.
We are still tweaking
things and will be adding lots more content but please have a look! What I like about this 'diet' is that it isn't really a diet at all. It is all about choosing healthy foods over processed foods and 'bad' fats.

Melicia Phillips began making jewelry as a way to relax from my crazy 30 year career as a professional chef. I worked in some great restaurants, taught culinary school and also published cookbooks.
Fast forward and jewelry making is now a full time gig. Along the way, I also became a GIA graduate gemologist and jewelry appraiser.
My wish is that each piece of jewelry I make has a life of it's own. Being a chef is very demanding but also incredibly rewarding.
I am not in the kitchen anymore, but my jewelry is!
All CHEFJEWELRY is made in my studio in Arizona.
