Marcella is a chef, creative, and third-generation Angeleno.

After studying baking and pastries she cooked in homes across LA. Everything from daily meal preparations to catering parties.

In 2023, she launched Backyard, a micro restaurant where people gather and eat in her…backyard. Here she prepares a eight-course meal, cooked over fire, and always ends the night with table side scoops of whatever ice cream flavor she’s working on at the moment.

If you are outside of LA you can enjoy Marcella’s writing and recipes on her Substack, Cooking Stuff.
