Pam Yeo is a culinary artist whose most cherished childhood memories are filled with the rich aromas from her Malaysian Peranakan grandmother’s kitchen. Graduating with honours and earning a Grand Diploma in French Culinary Arts from New York City, along with her experience as a private chef and time at the James Beard Foundation, have significantly shaped her approach to cooking. Over the past 15 years, she has immersed herself in researching and analysing flavour profiles and nutritional aspects of cuisines from around the world. She has had the opportunity to live on four continents, and is constantly thrilled each time she encounters new ingredients, flavours and food pairings during her travels. Pam believes that a deep curiosity about the culture and history of a place not only offers recipes but also engenders a profound respect for its people and their food.

Her personal food philosophy aligns with her heritage, which is a blend of diverse cultures. Combining her knowledge with a mindful avoidance of letting preconceptions dominate, she believes that incorporating unconventional techniques into traditional cuisines can enhance texture and flavour, as well as improve accessibility and efficiency in the culinary process.

What matters most to her is keeping the client's comfort and needs in focus and ensuring that recipes are easy to prepare in a conscious and sustainable way. This flexible customised approach enables her clients, especially those cooking with dietary restrictions, to effortlessly recreate dishes at home, craft family favourites, and adapt recipes to suit their family's changing needs. This process can be effectively managed by implementing gradual changes, allowing time for adaptability.

“My clients have very particular tastes, and I recognise how profoundly food choices can be impacted by their environments, emotional and psychological state. I aim to balance preserving the comforting aspects of what they are used to eating with incorporating subtle adjustments for health and nutrition. I understand that altering someone’s diet requires time and patience.”

“I have a lot of experience creating meals for different needs, like early foods for toddlers and postnatal meal prep and planning. I can also work with dieticians on consulting and developing recipes for specific dietary requirements, including kids with food sensitivities and sensory issues, people with celiac disease, cancer patients, and those managing diabetes. This background helps me approach unique dietary needs with both care and creativity.”

Currently, Pam is a stay-at-home mum based in Seattle, USA, with boys who have notably sophisticated palates. They constantly challenge the way she cooks on a daily basis. In addition to her role at home, she teaches small group cooking classes and is deeply passionate about recipe development bridging the gap between lifestyle medical professionals/dieticians and their patients and helping them stick to their new diets.

“Chemo patients struggle with tasting food and maintaining their appetites. The recipes are nutritional and easy to make and most importantly, they are tasty and familiar to the Asian palate. When they are not feeling well, all they want is comfort food and it's so encouraging to see empty bowls.”

“As a caregiver to my 5-year-old who’s undergoing chemotherapy, finding ways to help with eating has been one of our biggest challenges. My child has been incredibly brave through this entire ordeal, and it’s been essential to find foods that can make mealtimes a bit easier and more comforting.
We reached out for help to find suitable foods during this difficult time, and the support we received was truly wonderful. The suggestions provided were not only practical but also tailored specifically for a young child undergoing treatment and our family.

We were given ideas for mild, easy-to-digest foods that are gentle on a sensitive stomach but still nutritious. Recommendations like simple soups, pureed fruits, and bland foods that are less likely to cause discomfort have been invaluable. Additionally, the advice on presenting these foods in an appealing way, such as colorful smoothies and playful meal ideas, has made a real difference.
What stood out most was the empathy and understanding in accommodating my child’s dietary needs. The guidance on how to introduce these foods gradually and adjust based on my child’s reactions was incredibly helpful.
It’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into these recommendations. They’ve made mealtime a bit easier and more enjoyable for my little one, and for that, I’m deeply grateful. Thank you for the thoughtful support—it’s meant so much to us during this challenging time.”
