When it comes to eating healthy with no compromise on taste, Hollywood's best and brightest stars turn to Akasha Richmond, a five-star chef who believes great-for-you food should also be great-tasting. A longtime friend of Silk®, Akasha has developed dozens of recipes that showcase our products, including many featured in her latest cookbook, Hollywood Dish.
Silk Chef Akasha Richmond
A past chef at L.A.'s legendary natural-food restaurant Golden Temple, Akasha has consistently redefined the rules for healthful-yet-scrumptious cuisine. Her early catering business, Akasha's Visionary Cuisine, attracted Hollywood luminaries from Billy Bob Thornton and Pierce Brosnan to Barbra Streisand and Al Pacino. Now a culinary star in her own right, Akasha has appeared on Access Hollywood®, HGTV® and FOX®, NBC® and ABC® news programs in L.A. and New York.
Akasha's latest venture, a restaurant, bar and bakery named Akasha, recently opened in Culver City, offering comfort food with big flavors and sustainable ingredients for carnivores and herbivores alike. Akasha is also the cofounding chef of Eaturna, an all-natural food company revolutionizing the way people eat with delicious and beneficial meals for every day.
A longtime proponent of soyfoods, Akasha is a spokesperson for Silk Soymilk. Her Silk-based recipes have crossed the velvet rope, appearing at the EMA awards, backstage at the Grammy's® and Farm Aid® and at ChefDance during the Sundance Film Festival®.
