About Us

Vegetables being thrown away in a kitchen.

Background

Food waste is a hugely vast problem.   Working in the food industry, I became acutely aware of the enormity of waste that occurs in restaurants (and elsewhere).   Every year, 40 million tons of food is wasted in the US alone.  Meanwhile, nearly 1 in 10 American families are food insecure or hungry; they do not know when or where their next meal will come from.  In Arizona, where Cooking Up Luv is based, 1 in 6 families are food insecure.   I  decided to do something about this - however small - to support  organizations fighting food waste and hunger. That is why 20% of every  purchase from Cooking Up Luv is donated to this cause.
 

My designs are inspired by elements of daily work in a kitchen.  I start  by taking a picture of my subject, draw in any details, then digitize  it.  After that, I send it off to my local screen printing partners to  do their magic!  At the end of each month, 20% of sales are donated to an independently vetted charity.


Thank you for reading about Cooking Up Luv!
