Meet Aryanna
Aryanna brings a taste of her East Coast roots and her love of family and friends to Southern California. Her affinity for the food world began at a young age, informed by her Persian ancestry and American upbringing. Her parents, both avid gardeners, taught Aryanna and her three sisters the importance of eating sustainability decades before it became “ trendy.” Aryanna’s biggest inspiration came from her grandmother “Bootsy” who would spend the better part of the day making delicious curries and stews with spices she collected from all over the world. The tasty meals she shared every night with her family inspired Aryanna to start cooking for her daughter, Trystin, and ultimately start, Coastal Catering.
From the local farmers’ markets of Southern California to the neighborhood shops, Aryanna is constantly searching for fresh ingredients, flavorful seasonings, and inspiring foods. Nothing makes her happier than translating these treasures into delicious and distinctive food for every occasion. Aryanna’s excellent pallet and passion for cooking a wide range of food allow her to turn basic and pure ingredients into complex and colorful dishes that both children and adults swoon for. Her mission is to create magical food memories one dish at a time.
