Brooklyn chef Sawako “Sawa” Okochi was listed as one of the top “40 chefs under 40″ by MNN, Mother Nature Network. The list differs from other chef rankings in that it focuses on chefs that cook food form local farms and concentrate on environmental stability.

Originally from Hiroshima, Japan while working at Annisa Restaurant in Manhattan’s West Village Okochi was selected to compete on the Food Network’s Iron Chef America.
She has now found her home at Brooklyn’s the Good Fork, where their produce comes from Added Value farm, a farm right next to the Good Fork.
