More about me

For me, cooking is...

a love language. I love finding new ways for my clients to experience familiar dishes, and fusing flavors and techniques to introduce them to new ones

I learned to cook at...

a very young age. Long before earning my degree in Culinary Arts at Johnson & Wales University, I worked in my family's catering business as a teen.

A cooking secret...

respecting the ingredients and letting them define the dish.
