Introducing Selma’s Pantry
Selma’s Pantry products are homemade, and certified through the California – Contra Costa County Cottage Food Program.
Chef Selma’s products are created with love and a passion for homemade, healthy scratch
cooking. Already as a teen, Selma knew she would pursue a career in cooking. Since graduating
from a culinary arts program in her home country of the Netherlands and through extensive
travel and work in her field, Selma’s repertoire has embraced the tastes and authentic cuisines
of the Middle East, Europe and beyond. She is experienced in fine dining, outstanding French
and American style line-cooking, private catering, cooking for a leading Bay Area technology
firm and artisan sheep cheese making. However, Chef Selma’s primary passion has been serving
a dedicated community of children and their families while leading a vegetarian scratch-cooking
K-8 school lunch program for over 10 years in Richmond, California.
