More about me

For me, cooking is...

An opportunity to express love and appreciation for our community, our natural world, and ourselves.

I learned to cook at...

Friends and family have taught me so much. I have also worked in acclaimed restaurants in NYC and LA: Osteria Mozza, LuLu, King, and F&F Pizzeria.

A cooking secret...

Sourcing local produce and the highest quality ingredients and letting them speak for themselves. It’s about the food not the chef.
