Meet the Team! We are so excited to introduce our talented and dedicated team members.

Meet Carol:
Carol has enjoyed a long career as both an arts professional and a creative culinarian. Her cooking roots developed during childhood, cooking with her immigrant grandparents. This later grew into a professional interest in ethnic food preparations in customs, as well as authenticity in working with food as an art form. Carol began her career as a Professional Illustrator represented by Bookmaker’s in Westport, CT. For twenty years, Carol experienced the dual pleasure of being a children’s illustrator for major publishing companies while simultaneously keeping her hands busy as a working chef. Carol shifted into full-time culinary work in 2005, and served as the Executive Chef de Cuisine at Mattatuck Museum Cafe, providing sophisticated healthy dining for arts patrons while also providing economical food services for local organizations hosting events there. Next, Carol assumed the roles both as the Food Service Manager and Executive Chef for catering at New Morning Market. Carol joined CitySeed as the Culinary Coordinator for Sanctuary Kitchen in 2018 to aid in the development of professional guidelines for our chefs, assist in building strong culinary programs and grow Sanctuary Kitchen Catering into a flourishing business.

A gingerly market stroll is a fruitful one so venture to our farmers markets this weekend and carefully comb the stands for all the fun and interesting ingredients you need in your kitchen, like fresh local ginger. The vibrant ginger you'll find at our market (from local farms like @starlightgardens and @fourrootfarm ), will elevate your gingery meals.

We were so excited to have had Chef B share his culinary knowledge at our new Recipe & Menu Management Workshop last night! Chef B is the chef and owner of @therosetree_, and a graduate of CitySeed's Food Business Accelerator program.

Meet Bjorn:
Bjorn “Chef B” Byfield was born in Kingston, Jamaica and his roots run deep from the mountainous Maroon tribes to the Arawak indigenous peoples. He enlisted in the US Army after 9/11 as a Combat Engineer and was involved in the OIF conflicts in Iraq. Bjorn didn’t want to join the bomb squad so he learned how to create music and also played with food to cope with his return. He loves both music and food and the connection they have with people of all walks of life - poverty taught him how to be innovative with food, using affordable ingredients to make mouth-watering meals.

Bjorn attended and graduated with high marks from culinary school at ConnCAT’s Culinary Arts Adult Program. For 4 years, he served as a Culinary Arts Instructor at ConnCAT, teaching both youth and adults. Bjorn is also a Proctor/Instructor of ServSafe, I am a member of CT ACF, and has experience working in small volume production kitchens and large fine dining restaurants. He currently is a Community Outreach Chef Consultant and the co-founder of his family food business, The RoseTree. Bjorn's expertise is in knife cuts, recipe development, plate presentation, product identification, and equipment identification. Bjorn lives his life through 3D (Desire, Discipline, and Determination).
