We had the good fortune of connecting with Aline Faro and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Aline, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
As a guide, the standard chef position demands 50-plus hours a week, including nights, weekends and holidays. For a chef job in a restaurant, expect to work 7 days a week for 12 to 14 hours each shift.Depending on your position in the kitchen hierarchy, you could work even more hours, especially if you’re a young cook still proving your mettle. In other words, as i started to grown on my field it became more and more demanding. I was basically working my life away.. I knew something was wrong, no time for family,no time to rest, no time to recharge, my work life was not fullfilling anymore. That’s when I decided to resign as an executive chef and develop my own brand.

My last home was at Farmer’s Table Express in Boca Raton. During this time I had the freedom to create, test and develop a line of food products, catering menus, private plane meals, and more.

When business was at peak, pandemic hits and the industry crashed. I lost all my staff and was working to fill 5 people position to keep the store running… working at a restaurant pace was just killing me.

What can i do to reduce my work load and yet do what i love? How can i impact others with the meals i cook? How can i help functional doctors with food protocols?

I started to question myself and ponder what could i offer and that’s when i realized i was unique in the market and I can offer the best Personalized services.
