The Sweet Botanist is more than dessert, it’s a space where everyone is welcome, where food is made with care, and where every bite feels like home.

Amber Murtoff is a plant-based visionary, storyteller, and the creative force behind The Sweet Botanist in York, PA. She transforms ingredients into desserts, dinner experiences, and immersive events that awaken the senses, spark connection, and linger in memory. A vegetarian since age eight and fully vegan since 2010, Amber blends technical mastery with a love of beauty, crafting dishes that are simultaneously nostalgic, elegant, and surprising.

Her heritage, Chamorra, PA Dutch, and Native American deeply informs her work, grounding her creativity in tradition, ritual, and community. At twelve, complications from Lyme disease left her partially blind, sharpening her remaining senses and shaping a unique, multi-sensory approach to flavor, texture, and scent. Amber’s creations are more than food, they are moments of joy, wonder, and belonging, intentionally designed to nourish the body and soul.

An award-winning and published chef, immersive experience designer, and advocate for plant-based living, Amber has been recognized nationally for her innovation and artistry. Through The Sweet Botanist and her other ventures, she continues to invite others into her world: one where plants, storytelling, wellness, and a touch of magic converge in every experience.
