Tayna Holland, award-winning chef, author, and restaurateur,  founded the famous and beloved Brown Sugar Kitchen restaurant in 2009 in Oakland, California. The restaurant received multiple Michelin Bib Gourmand Awards and was such an integral part of the community that she was honored when the city declared "Tanya Holland Day" on June 5, 2012. She has also been given the key to the city and, in 2013, was awarded California Chef & Restaurateur of the Year by The California Tourism Board.   

In addition to her most recent cookbook, and her many published articles, she is the author of The Brown Sugar Kitchen Cookbook and New Soul Cooking. As a chef, Ms. Holland has travelled extensively in pursuit of more experience and knowledge. She was appointed a Culinary Diplomat by the U.S. Foreign Service Department  and subsequently toured Kazakhstan and Mexico. She has taught classes in France for gastronomic travelers and has traveled with the GlobalSF delegation to discuss food system sustainability in the context of climate change to Singapore, Hong Kong, Sweden, and Denmark. 

An in-demand speaker, Ms. Holland has been an agent for positive change in diversity, equity, and inclusion in the hospitality industry. Follow the Chef @cheftanyaholland(Facebook); @mstanyaholland (Instagram); and @tanyaholland (Twitter).
