Center for the exploration of food! That’s what the Primal Alchemy kitchen in Long Beach is all about. Catering lends itself to a variety of menus and we are constantly exploring new cultures, new ingredients, staying rooted in the tradition but adding some local flavor or freshness. Ideas in Food has long been one of my favorite websites. Aki & Alex do a fantastic job sharing their travels in food and every one of us should aspire to learn, share and teach. Choosing this profession as a chef leaves us with an unlimited number of culinary combinations and proceedures from which to pick from. New cooks, new ingredients, accidental sucesses, and carefully planned proceedures that fail giving us the opportunity to learn once again…Finding your passion…priceless!

Primal Alchemy is a premiere caterer in the Los Angeles, Long Beach and Orange County area. With over 16 years of catering experience we support our clients with a full array of event planning services. From delicious creative foods and elegant service to equipment rentals, florals & locations, Primal Alchemy Catering can produce spectacular party. For any event large or small, corporate or private, please contact us at www.primalalchemy.com or call (562) 400-5659 to speak to Chef Paul Buchanan directly.

The Day is here! Fresh Thoughts…keeping it fresh…buying local…from the garden to the table. Finally a place to keep friends, family, clients, and compatriots in the loop. Thank you so much for visiting. My wish is for you to find tasty tidbits of information, be randomly inspired to cook something new, share some of your discoveries, stay updated to new menus, new culinary experiences, and read the occasional rant. BE PASSIONATE ABOUT INGREDIENTS, TASTE YOUR FOOD, KNOW WHERE IT COMES FROM, AND SHARE WITH OTHERS…CHEERS!
Chef Paul
