This past weekend in Sun City: 7 guests, 5 courses, and a lot of ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs.’

Pictured: Handmade mafaldine swimming in spicy vodka sauce, crowned with burrata, EVOO, and fresh basil.

Up next: Short rib involtini served with celeriac puree, roasted root veg, and a sauce so good you might want to just drink it straight. Sweet, spicy, garlicky, with just enough lime to keep it interesting.

Who’s ready to snag a seat at the next table? 🥂

🎄✨ A Christmas Dinner to Remember ✨🎄

Last week, I had the privilege of crafting a surprise Christmas dinner for Max’s family in Sea Pines, and it was truly an unforgettable evening.

Here’s a snippet of the kind words Max shared after the event:

“The entire evening was a celebration of not just great food, but of true craftsmanship…”

Swipe to read the full review—it means the world to me to know that my work can create such special moments for families. I always say it - I’m just so lucky and blessed to do this for a living.

Thank you, Max, for trusting me with this experience! 🙏

If you’re looking to create an unforgettable dining experience for your next special occasion, I’d be honored to bring your vision to life. 🥂

Last night’s debut: Slow-Roasted Heritage Porchetta 🐖 with Citrus-Fennel Gremolata, Potato Pavé, and Ratatouille Provençal.

A dish that melts together my Italian roots and my classical French training at the Culinary Institute of America. Bold flavors, traditional techniques, and all the cozy vibes for winter on Hilton Head Island.

So many layers of flavor—this one’s a stunner. 🌿✨
