Chef Alisha Rose Marquis

CHEF & COLLABORATOR

Chef Rose is a longtime Lotus Chefs collaborator whose culinary background beautifully bridges classic technique, nutrition, and deeply nourishing food. A graduate of Johnson & Wales University, she holds degrees in Culinary Arts and Clinical Nutrition, with experience spanning farm-to-table restaurants, wellness resorts, wineries, events, and some of Maui’s most celebrated culinary spaces.

Her cooking is grounded in a respect for seasonal ingredients, thoughtful technique, and the connection between food and well-being. Today, Rose is focusing much of her work on her own meal-prep and postpartum support businesses, while still joining the Lotus Chefs team for select services. We love having her thoughtful presence, extensive knowledge, and genuine instinct for caring for people around our table.
