Get to know me better

I am a dynamic chef with a zest for creating new globally inspired savory and pastry dishes,

My journey as a chef has taken me to countries and kitchens around the world. I am classically trained in both savory and pastry. Hailing from Chicago, I was the Chef/Owner of a boutique catering company for many years before working on a high profile account in Austin, Texas, for almost four years. Currently I am the Director of Culinary Services for a food bank. My wide breadth of experience includes fine dining, event catering, prepared meal delivery, cookbook editing, teaching and designing culinary curricula. I have a penchant for quality ingredients and I am very salty about food waste!

More about me

For me, cooking is...

A way to building community. It is passion and an outlet for disciplined creativity.

I learned to cook at...

Le Cordon Bleu Chicago, The French Pastry School, Le Cordon Bleu Firenze, countless prof. classes, and in the kitchens of friends and relatives

A cooking secret...

Coaxing the best flavors out of the best ingredients in a balanced way.
