The Easy Reader (February 2014) Thirteen years ago, Manhattan Beach resident Tammy Lipps started a custom catering company called The Ripe Choice in her home.
Cooking, creating menus and working with food had always been a deep-rooted passion for the mother of three. It’s been about a year and a half since she opened her storefront kitchen on the north end, just steps from Highland Avenue. Dressed in a white chef coat and her blond hair tied back in a ponytail, Lipps is the star of this nearly three-minute YouTube video. In it, she talks about her business — how she uses the freshest ingredients, picked personally from local sources, and caters for private parties and cooks and delivers meals for homes.
“I really enjoy helping people with their vision for their event,” she says, “being able to help them bring that whole package together.”
