Arleen LLoyd
Arleen Lloyd has been in love with cooking since she was 5
years old. Her fascination with creating culinary magic with a
few basic ingredients was the inspiration for this life long
love affair. Her first experiments at baking produced cookies
that resembled hockey pucks which only a mother would dare
to eat and only when they were hot! Graduating to an Easy
Bake Oven, her repertoire grew to include small cakes and
brownies. Once she was tall enough, she began creating
mouthwatering delights in a real kitchen and the rest is her story.
Having followed the standard progression after college of
becoming a corporate executive in marketing, Arleen found
herself constantly gravitating towards kitchen equipment and
all it had to offer. Her travels were always an exploration into
the nuances of cultural cooking, the how, the why and the joy
of eating each creation. Finally, in 1987 she realized her
passion and opened a catering business with both wholesale
and retail divisions in Miami, FL. Her days were filled with
supplying restaurants and cafeterias with specialty baked
goods and catering extravagant events for both corporate
clients and individuals. Life became a 24/7 adventure in all
that is gastronomy!
Arleen’s culinary range includes the cuisine of many cultures,
as well as, the fine art of pastry and chocolate arts. Her years
of experience creating delectable foods that nurture both the
body and spirit emphasize her philosophy that cooking is a
meditation on all that is sacred. Life is too short not to enjoy
the pleasure of creating a good meal, that is uncomplicated
and without pretense, to share with family and friends. There
is no better way to feed the mind, body and spirit!
She is currently the owner of Alchemy of the Hearth, a
cooking school in Escondido, CA and teaches classes within
San Diego County.
