Native Wellington was launched in 1994 by Native Foods Cafe's founding chef, Tanya Petrovna, who gave Southern Californians something new to gobble up and give thanks for during the Holiday season. Today, Native Wellington is enjoyed across the nation and makes an ideal entree to serve at home, as well as an edible holiday gift for family, friends and clients who love delicious, homemade, healthy food. Native Foods Cafe Holiday side dishes and dessert ideas are featured on You Tube with Chef Tanya guiding viewers through creating each delicious recipe.
