about Gisele

A proud native of New Orleans, planning a great party comes
naturally to Gisele Perez. For over 20 years, she worked in
some of the finest hotels, restaurants and catering companies
in New York City and Los Angeles. In 1996, deciding to upgrade
her training, she entered the renowned California Culinary Academy
in San Francisco, while continuing to hone her "on the job" work experience in the SF Bay Area. After graduating from the Culinary
Academy with honors, she opened small pleasures in 1997.
