About Akasha Richmond

Akasha Richmond’s dedication to health and ingredients started during her time in India and extended while she was working at The Golden Temple, a vegetarian restaurant where she discovered her passion for cooking. At the time, many celebrities frequently dined at The Golden Temple, which lead to being a personal chef for many bold-faced names in Hollywood, including Michael Jackson, who essentially launched her career as a professional chef.
