Get to know me better

I am a self trained chef who believes that creating a dish is as influential as creating a piece of music or a painting.

I am Myra Petersen, a self-taught chef and the proud owner of Violet Eatery in Salt Lake City. My passion for creating art with food drives me to design dishes that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. I believe that every meal should be a feast for the eyes and the palate, and I strive to bring this philosophy to life in my cooking.

My journey has been incredibly rewarding, and I'm honored to have received award-winning recognition for my culinary creations. As I look to expand my career into private events and family chef work, I am excited about the opportunity to craft custom dining experiences that delight and inspire. I truly enjoy blending flavors harmoniously with artistic presentation, ensuring that each meal I prepare is not only delicious but also a memorable experience for those I serve. I look forward to bringing my culinary artistry to new settings, creating unforgettable meals for families and special occasions.
