Get to know me better
A visionary chef who blends elevated hospitality, regional inspiration, and guest‑centric culinary experiences into unforgettable dinner parties.
I love feeding people and creating culinary/sensory memories. My culinary experience of 23+ years has evolved into a deep curiosity for regional flavors, thoughtful hosting, and the small details that make guests feel cared for. Teaching cooking classes has sharpened my skills and instincts — every question from a student, every request for a tool recommendation, every shared moment in the kitchen has shaped my understanding of what people truly need to feel confident and joyful around food.
As I have traveled, explored wineries, and studied the rhythms of great hospitality, I have developed a signature style rooted in warmth and intention. I've learned to blend elevated flavors with an inviting, unpretentious atmosphere — the kind of experience where guests feel both impressed and completely at ease.
I have a Secret Supper Club that has become an extension of this philosophy: intimate gatherings where connection matters as much as the menu, where regional inspiration meets thoughtful pacing, and where every detail — from sourcing to safety to storytelling — is curated with care.
