Rayna Bocholt’s love and appreciation of food stems
from her extensive travels around the globe. After
graduating from the University of Texas, Austin with degrees
in both Latin American Studies and Spanish, Rayna set out
to England to obtain her Masters. After graduation, Rayna
traveled extensively throughout Europe and made a temporary
home in France. This exposure to a wide variety of international
cuisines prompted Rayna to begin a career in the culinary
world. Prior to working at La Belle Epoque, Rayna worked as
a Culinary Instructor and Chef at COPIA: The American Center
for Wine, Food and the Arts. There she led cooking demonstrations
and worked with some of the country’s top chef’s
including Chef John Ash, Chef Ken Frank of La Toque and Celebrity
Nutritionist Cheryl Forberg from NBC’s The Biggest Loser.”
She then went on to become the Executive Chef at Tulocay and
Co’s Made in Napa Valley Culinary Centre. At the Culinary
Centre, Rayna ran a tasting café, taught daily cooking
demonstrations and partnered with the Napa Valley’s
top wineries to create and prepare innovative menus for Tulocay’s
winemaker dinner series. She now works with Roxann the La
Belle Epoque owner to create memorable breakfasts at La Belle
Epoque, where she is a chef and innkeeper. |
