My clients know I am passionate about health.
Clean food, a true purist.

I do not like shortcuts
I prefer to make dishes that require less than 8 ingredients
I use only high quality fresh quality oils used for the appropriate heat…

My priority is teaching my clients that healthful plates don’t ever have to lack flavor or substance.
And teaching them that through food you can cultivate health, relationships and create lasting memories…

What do you seek in food?
