Meet the Chef Behind the Magic

     Karisa Minchue – Founder & Culinary Alchemist of Fabled Feast

            For me, food has always been more than fuel—it’s a form of storytelling. Every dish tells a tale, every flavor unlocks a memory, and every shared meal is a chance to connect. That belief has guided me since I first stepped into a professional kitchen at just 17 years old.

           Now, at 32, with over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve turned that lifelong passion into Fabled Feast—a business that blends imagination, hospitality, and soul-crafted cuisine.

I’ve had the honor of cooking across the West—from the vibrant culinary scene of Los Angeles to the charming communities of Reno and Sparks, all the way to the stunning landscapes of Lake Tahoe. Along the way, I’ve poured my heart into every type of event you can imagine: dreamy weddings, elegant private dinners, intimate home parties, high-energy pop-ups, and thoughtfully curated meal prep for busy lives.

           But what sets me apart isn’t just the food—it’s the experience. I don’t just cook meals—I craft immersive, seamless events. From planning themed menus and staging magical tablescapes to setting up, serving, and breaking everything down with care, I handle every detail so my clients can sit back, savor, and be fully present.

           That’s what Fabled Feast is all about: creating moments that feel enchanting and personal, rooted in flavor and full of heart. Whether it’s a whimsical garden dinner under the stars or a nourishing box of thoughtfully prepped meals, I bring the same devotion to quality, beauty, and storytelling.

This is more than a business. It’s a lifelong calling—and I can’t wait to share it with you.
