I am a graduate of Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, where I built a strong technical foundation and refined my approach to thoughtful, ingredient-driven cooking. My expertise centers on clean, seasonal cuisine that highlights freshness, balance, and simplicity.

I am deeply passionate about sourcing ingredients from local suppliers and preparing everything from scratch whenever possible. I believe that quality begins at the source, and that careful selection and respectful preparation allow ingredients to truly shine.

My favorite dishes to create are comforting and nourishing—soups, stews, chili, and beautifully braised preparations that bring warmth and depth of flavor to the table. I enjoy crafting meals that feel inviting and satisfying, whether for everyday gatherings or special occasions.

I have experience preparing meals for groups of all sizes and for a wide range of events, always tailoring the menu to suit the needs and atmosphere of each client. In addition, I have taught beginner-level cooking classes, sharing practical techniques and helping others build confidence in the kitchen.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I would be delighted to help create a memorable and personalized dining experience for you.

For me, cooking is...

Essential to maintaining a happy belly and body

I learned to cook at...

Escoffier School of the Culinary Arts. My grandmothers recipes and baking with my mother heavily influenced me as well.

A cooking secret...

Peace! A level head helps prepare a well thought out dish, with clean execution.

Chef Erica was very professional but also very welcoming with our questions. Some of us were talented cooks while others were not but she treated us all the same with respect and interest. She had some great tips that will improve our skills and had some fun anecdotes about some of the ingredients used, too. Overall, a wonderful way to spend an afternoon with friends!
