My Food Philosophy
Handcrafted & Homegrown
Growing up and honing my catering, private chef, and culinary skills in and around the Napa Valley, CA , I was fortunate enough to learn what a difference a good partnership with a local farmer or butcher shop can mean for a cook and chef. I am impassioned by a phenomenal product and feel immense excitement when I get to see a clients expectations exceeded for a meal. I work with local suppliers to source the freshest and most authentic ingredients, and use old-fashioned techniques to ensure the highest quality.
My goal is to make your tastebuds exalt with the taste of familiar flashback flavors and a touch of refined finesse!

Soup Is Life
Pots are boiling, flavors are melding, and wafting scents of nostalgia fill the kitchen air. The aromas of broth and stocks escape and inspire me as I kickoff my day deciding what perfect products I'll combine with these rich and unctuous bases to create a soup like no other. My goal is to devise the most comforting and warm cup of life I can muster. Sneak a sip and delight in my savory soups, intended to give you the ultimate sensation of home cooking without the hours of effort (for you anyway)!
Sauces Make The Meal
The perfect sauce gives authenticity to the meal you've created! A protein or pasta is beautiful groundwork to let your culinary prowess shine with the addition of a saucy layer of flavor that guarantees a unforgettable meal. From pesto to béchamel, mole to bolognese, lemon & capers to old fashioned gravy - nothing makes a meal memorable like a truly authentic sauce and I cant wait to share my favorite recipes with you.
