She is deeply invested in zero-waste efforts, focusing on using local and seasonal ingredients, and repurposing food scraps in her dishes. Chef Hill’s journey began early, as she grew up cooking with her family and turned her passion into a professional pursuit. After culinary school, she gained experience in several prestigious restaurants across San Diego County, including George’s at the Cove, Juniper & Ivy, Tidal Restaurant, Trust Restaurant, Waterbar, and Nolita Hall, before becoming the Executive Chef at Lilian’s at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe.
At Lilian’s, Chef Hill has crafted a menu that showcases the abundance and diversity of coastal California, using the freshest and most sustainable ingredients sourced from local farmers, ranchers, and fishermen. Her menu includes a range of dishes from king salmon crudo with truffle ponzu and tempura crunch to tuna tartare with beer-battered avocado, as well as hearty mains like half-roasted chicken with hazelnut butter and a 16-ounce ribeye with confit garlic.
