California Grown

Model, muse, and professional chef, Gina Clarke-Helm is a California native who founded and operates Malibu Seaside Chef. After studying at the French Epicurean School in Los Angeles, Chef Gina apprenticed under the tutelage of renowned Florence-based chef Guiliano Bugialli and at Wolfgang Puck’s Malibu restaurant Granita. As a private chef, she now counts movie stars, CEOs, musicians, and world-class athletes among her clientele.

Classically trained in a variety of cuisines, she loves to create custom menus that showcase California’s seasonal bounty for celebrations of all sizes. When she’s not cooking, Chef Gina enjoys art collecting, hiking, and spending time with her husband and daughter.

“I understand the importance of a meal beyond the food, but as an experience. I am passionate about providing quality ingredients and services to host a best-in-class dining experience.”
