About Me

I am a seasoned Chef with a dedication that began in the mixing bowls of Sally Ann’s Bakery in Massachusetts. It led to a business degree in Hospitality & Restaurant Management and French Culinary School in California.  Since then I’ve enjoyed rolling up my sleeves in every role from Private Chef, Kitchen Manager and Event Supervisor, to Culinary Instructor and Volunteer.  

My love of cooking stems from the happiness and pride I take in providing you with the simple pleasures of dining - a rustic farm-to-table meal, seasonal flavors, comfortable surroundings and laughter....
