As a chef by profession and a land steward at heart, I derive immense joy from the simplicity of good foods and fostering a deep connection with the land. My culinary journey has taken me to diverse locations, from foraging for fiddleheads in western Maine to fishing the Block Island Sound, and from hunting for mushrooms in northern Italy to farming the apple orchards of eastern Germany. These rich experiences and diverse ingredients serve as constant inspiration for my culinary creations. Over the past decade, I have immersed myself in the study of gastronomy and hospitality, sharing my passion for food within our community. My culinary background includes working in contemporary Michelin kitchens, farm-to-table restaurants, and various home kitchens for a wide array of private clients. Having been a vegetarian for 20 years and gradually incorporating animal protein into my diet, I approach cooking from a non-traditional perspective, offering a unique blend of culinary knowledge and techniques. Collaboration with clients is a cornerstone of my approach, ensuring that their dining experience not only aligns with their dietary needs but also surpasses their expectations, leaving them thoroughly nourished. I embrace feedback and criticism as integral components of both my personal growth as a chef and the overall satisfaction of the client. I am eager for the opportunity to contribute my skills, passion, and diverse culinary background to your family. I look forward to the possibility of creating, nourishing, and growing together. Thank you for consideration. For your next special occasion, consider hiring me as your chef. I am available for private events, dinner parties, and corporate events. I charge $45.00 per hour and will work with you to ensure your guests have an enjoyable and memorable experience. If you are interested in booking me as your chef, please reach out and message me. I look forward to bringing my culinary expertise and creativity to your next event!
