About Our Guest

Tisha Wylie found her passion for cooking and entertaining at a young age, a passion which evolved as she matured and had her own apartment to host friend. It was in 2006 that she began writing original recipes which she submitted for a Food Network competition. Despite not being chosen, Tisha decided to compile her recipes and wrote her first cookbook titled "California Style Cooking". The following year she relocated to the East Coast, where a friend encouraged her to turn her culinary skills into a business. Initially hesitant, Tisha would go on to carve her own path in the food industry.

"Anticipating Holiday Meals: I can tell you it's going to be a four course meal that we're doing, and with that, it's going to be paired with a nice wine and some nice cocktails. Actually, it's going to be good for all the time, particularly for the holidays, because right now, people are either going to someone's house or they're taking food to someone's house."

Welcome, everyone, to another episode of Get Seen with

Leilani Wells. I'm super excited. We are sharing even

more of our holiday Entrepreneur Summit. What we have cooking

in our holiday entrepreneur Summit special version

of Get Seen. And we are here with one of

our amazing chefs from Get Seen in the Kitchen. If you don't already

know, if you haven't heard the word yet, we now are

premiering Get Seen in the Kitchen at the holiday Entrepreneur Summit, the

fourth annual holiday Entrepreneur Summit. And we will have

Chef Tisha, who's here with us today. Share a little bit about that in a

second what they have in store for you. But right now, I want you to

have an opportunity to get to know her a little bit. Welcome, Chef Tisha. Hello.

Hello. Thank you for having me on. I appreciate it. Thank you for the

opportunity. And, yeah, I'm ready to talk,

ready to share, chop it up,

whatever. I'm so happy to have you. And I don't know if

I've shared this enough with you. I feel like you and

Chef Alicia and Leslie and Rachel,

you all are making just another layer of my dreams come

true. I know. Am I telling them too much,

or am I not telling them enough? Because I'm over here just, like, coming out

of my skin over this. I'm like, this is so exciting. Every time I talk

to you guys, there's another right? There's another layer. Like, we just added something else

before we went live. We see the vision. Right? So you shared the

vision, you're total visionary. And then, fortunately, you got

people that are with it. Right? So we're with all the smoke, so we want

to make it happen. We love what we're love, you know,

cooking, teaching Chef Felicia the same

mix, so yeah, it's a good team of people. I love it. Yeah.

And, you know, when you say that how it's a good team of people, I've

been noticing how you guys are all gelling so well, and

that's just one of the major aspects of what I love to see.

And part of my vision is letting people see the

vision of where I match them too, as far as what they're doing

with each other, these pairings that are going to take their businesses to another

level together, because collaboration is just such a big deal in

general. It's really added so much depth

and so much faster success and all the

things to my business, and it's great. And to make

friends. Yes. Colleagues, friends.

Yes. I love it. Yeah. The people that get you, and they're not like, you're

working too much. This end is not work. Okay. This is

fun. What are you talking about? Yeah. So tell

everybody a little bit about yourself. What's your chef

story? I have to know because you're just chef story. So I've been

cooking for a very long time, for over 30 years. I know. I don't look

like that. But no, it's true.

But I loved cooking when I was a

kid. When I was a kid, I watched cartoons and

then, like, cooking programs, like PBS

was the thing. So I watched all those shows all the time,

and I just thought, you know what, I like to do that. As I got

a little bit older, I was able to help bake during holidays, all that kind

of stuff. And then it kind of just graduated as I got older, being able

to entertain when I got my own apartment and all that stuff and having the

friends over. So I've always really liked that aspect of feeding people

and making people happy with food. It wasn't

until 2006 I

started writing some recipes. I entered a contest for the Food

Network, and part of that contest, I had to

have some recipes, original recipes to submit. Well, they didn't pick me, so I was

just like, you know what, whatever. So I thought, what am I going

to do with all these recipes? So I added some more recipes, and I ended

up with my first version of my cookbook, which is called California

Style Cooking. Then I moved to the East Coast 2007,

and a friend of mine just really encouraged me to

start, like, a food business. And at first I was like, yeah, no

thanks. I just want to entertain. I'm going to be on some cooking show, and

that's what I'm going to do. But I ended up conceding. I did that,

did private chefing for dinner parties, people up to

like 30 folks, down to date night for folks.

And I did it that way because I really enjoy cooking for people with

my family. So the catering thing never appealed to me. Like, I'm not catering a

wedding. I'm not catering your 80th birthday party. I'm not doing any of that

stuff. I like the fact that I could do small,

intimate things up to 30 folks

and be successful with that. So I was able to do that. And then

time moved by, I did that. I did some professional cake making

for a little while, and I liked it but didn't love it. So I stopped

doing that. In the middle of all that, I

revamped my cookbook. It's called Tish's table. So I've done that,

and then I got into the coaching space. I was able to get into the

coaching space, and it took me a little while to figure out how I was

going to put my culinary skills into that

space outside of YouTube and how to

videos. So I was able to do that, still learning all the little

things to do that. So I started a program, a 90 day program that's kind

of zeroed in with a group of people that want to learn kitchen

basics, techniques, that kind of stuff.

I have a VIP one, a VIP program where people don't if they don't want

to cook with a group of folks and they're a little bit more introverted. I've

got that. It's definitely been like

an evolution, but it's been a bumpy ride, but a fun ride.

As you're sharing your story, I felt like I was in it. I was just

like, oh, yeah, I could see you in the kitchen on

date night and all that. And by the way, total side note, but I

love the COVID of your book, Tisha's Table. Thank you.

I love it. I love it. So cool. Thank you.

Most people that are that I'm a creative by nature, so if

you talk to any kind of other chef or anything like that, they're usually creatives

by nature. And so that cover, I was like, I

want the COVID that way. So the person that I was working with, I found

some inspiration on Pinterest, and then I got

like, a bang up photographer and good makeup artist, and so I was

like, this is it. I was like, yes, it's a good cover. I

love it. Yes, love it. Love it so

much. So I want to know I know you can't give all of

it away, right? All the juicy details, but I want to know a little

bit. Like, give everyone a little nugget about what you

all have in store for them for the holiday. Oh, my

gosh. Okay, so I can't give the recipes

away just yet because it's not released. So I'm not going to blow people's cover

or anything like that, but I will say that it's nice, full

round menu. I can tell you it's going to be a four course meal

that we're doing, and with that, it's going to be paired with a

nice wine and some nice cocktails.

Obviously, we can't share the recipes just yet, but just know it's going to be

good for holidays. Actually, it's going to be good for all the time,

particularly for the holidays, because right now, people are either going to someone's house

or they're taking food to someone's house. So all the things that we're going to

share are going to be able to fit into that little thing.

I love this. Okay. What I'm so excited about for

everyone who is going to participate, what you guys may not know is

that we're setting this up to where you can cook with them. So

you can either watch this video or you can literally

cook alongside, because they're going to be releasing the

menu and the shopping, the grocery list, and tell you everything you need, all

the cooking utensils, everything you need. To where? When

we all go live, you guys can prepare it with them, or you can

actually save the video and learn later. Or just take the

instructions and the recipe however you want to do it. And what's so cool

about that is we've made sure that it is something that

is not going to be a lengthy amount of time, right? Normally with the

gifting in the kitchen when it's not the Holiday Entrepreneur Summit edition, it's 30

minutes meals because we know you're busy, so it's going to be a little bit

longer because it's a holiday focus, right? But

it's still taking in mind in account that your time and

everything, because that's part of the core value of

getting in the kitchen, is making this attainable for working business

people to be able to be the homemakers that we miss being

sometimes when we get in the weeds of our business. Right? So I

just love that you guys are really mindful of all of these

aspects, and it's just so exciting.

It's going to be good because we're really going to set everybody up for success,

right? So not only will you get the recipe, you can get online

and be like, I'm going to look up this recipe. But what you don't

get is the step by step, like, clear step by step

equipment that you need to use down to the

knives, what knives you should have. And we're going to be mindful

of stuff that you already have in the kitchen so you don't have to go

make some kind of crazy investment. So

you'll get that, and then it's something that they could keep in their repertoire, in

their cooking repertoire. And for me, I've told you this before,

I'm about building kitchen confidence. So when people do these things and

they test these recipes, or even if they just watch it

and they're just watching it as a demo, but then they try it out later,

that's going to add to your repertoire. That's going to build your confidence.

Oh, my goodness. Okay, I know we have to get going, but I'm so

excited. I'm going to be in your inbox in your DMs later.

But thank you all for joining us. We want to see you at this

year's fourth annual Holiday Entrepreneur Summit. Get Seen in the Kitchen

is an added bonus for all of you that are going. You get to be

a part of Get Seen In The Kitchen the day before the main event on

the 16th. And it's something that you'll get to

save and keep so you can prepare this meal again for

your family when you have guests in town. And we're really looking forward to seeing

you at both events. And Chef

Tisha, where should they follow you in the interim so they are kept in the

know about all the things you have going on and everything leading up to the

Holiday Entrepreneur Summit. I am on all the socials,
