After graduating Hospitality and Food Administration from the University of Guelph and trying my hand at the classic 9-5 life,
I returned to my true passion for creating in the kitchen, and that's when YUM by Ava Chilelli Cooks was born.
When not behind my oven baking up tasty treats for my customers, you can find me teaching adult and youth cooking classes at Beaches Sandbox, where I share my love for cooking while teaching hands-on recipes.
Nothing is more YUM than a homemade dessert made with love and care. Dessert makes people happy, and they make me happy—that is why YUM was started and why I look forward to every new order placed.
Love Ava xx
