I create soulful, sustainable dining experiences rooted in local ingredients, community, and seasonal flavor.

Joshua Preston

I cook with purpose—fresh, seasonal food that connects people to place.

I’m a Bronx-born chef based in Phoenix, and my path has always been driven by a deep love of cooking and the people it brings together. I studied at ASU and earned a degree in Sustainable Cooperative Food Business, which shaped the way I build menus around sustainability, community, and meaningful hospitality.

I was honored to be featured on the cover of ION Arizona magazine, and I’m excited to collaborate with clients who value exceptional food and genuine connection. When you invite me into your home or event, I bring thoughtful technique, warm service, and flavors that feel both vibrant and nourishing.

Let’s plan your menu

My kitchen thrives on using local ingredients from farmers and my own garden, creating dishes that celebrate fresh, seasonal, and sustainable flavors.

I bring sustainability, seasonality, and a little magic to every table.

I cook locally and seasonally

For me, cooking is a tribute to Phoenix’s local farmers and gardens, and I aim to bring joy, connection, and a bit of magic in every bite.

I’ve built my craft through hands-on training

I honed my culinary skills at an all-trades school in Vergennes, Vermont, and being recognized for my harvest festival booth fueled my passion and pushed me to keep refining my approach.

I lead with a sustainable, healing mindset

My kitchen runs on local ingredients—from farmers and from my own garden—and I use them to create dishes that celebrate fresh, seasonal, sustainable flavors with heart.
