During these uncertain times, we are forced to stay in and cook our own meals to survive. This can be a great opportunity to get creative and have some fun from home!

A few tips for creating tasty authentic meals at home:

- Use your most perishable items first. In this case I used fresh arugula, cherry tomatoes, parsley and goat cheese
- Use some non perishable goods you have been squirreling away in your pantry. You know that 1/3 of a box of penne you have been saving for that rainy day? Use that. I also used some anchovies and smoked olive oil for depth of flavor and heart health.

- Use some citrus to lighten it up and get some vitamin C. Lemons have a decent shelf life so use them when you can. A little squeeze of lemon and this yummy pasta dish is complete.

If anyone needs advice or inspiration to cook meals during this time, please contact me. And when life returns back to normal, please consider hiring Sonoma from Scratch to cook for your anniversary party, birthday gathering or just a get together with some of your favorite friends. This shelter in place/ corona virus is greatly affecting small businesses, including Sonoma from Scratch. Please support local businesses when you can during these troubled times. Thank you and happy cooking!

Dropping new menus this week! Our sexy version of “Chicken & Waffles” has whipped chive creme fraiche and bacon maple syrup. We had a guest staying with us this morning from Nashville, Tennessee. He said he couldn’t find fried chicken that superb back home. Huge feather in our cap! Thank you for the love! And come stay , our gourmet two course breakfast is included in your stay! I’m the assistant Chef and love cooking for guests that travel from all over the country to stay with us. &waffles country 🔪

More fun with eggs Benedict! I just cannot get enough. This one has a little Mediterranean toast with it, topped with sliced salami and roasted garlic. Is it normal to eat an entire stick of butter in hollandaise form? Oyyy I think the gym is calling my name!

Even the staff meal at is elegant and absolutely delicious! Scrambled eggs with butternut squash hash, avocados, crispy prosciutto and fresh herbs. Best way to start the day!

Deconstructed Niçoise salad with a medium poached egg, charred salmon, Fuji apples and green olives. Clean, delicious Mediterranean diet. Nourishing and exploding with flavor. I think this is going to be a thing...

The main course from our chef collection dinner last night. Grilled flank steak with spicy chimichurri, buttery seared fingerling potatoes and fresh sage flowers. The meat was tender, perfectly seasoned and nice and medium rare. it was the guests favorite! Looking forward to cooking this dish again!

We had the ultimate pleasure of cooking a chef collection dinner for a lovely group of couples last night . The property is absolutely stunning tucked up in the hills in Calistoga. We were giddy with excitement as we were driving up! The kitchen was beautiful, the weather was perfect and the menu was fresh and seasonal! The first course was an avocado and Watmaugh strawberry salad with baby spinach, Laura Chenel goat cheese, toasted almonds and nasturtium from our garden. Balsamic reduction drizzled table side. The guests loved it!

Felt like a light vegetarian dish for dinner without having to go to the store. The result was simple but deeply satisfying! Turmeric rice with toasted almond and spinach pistou, avocado and red onion. This will be a perfect side to accompany a beautifully cooked piece of fish. Delicious!

Although the day started with rain, it turned out to be a beautiful spring morning. The best part about a spring morning is a light, simple, delicious breakfast to go with it! Pictured here is an over easy fried egg, red pepper coulis toast and a fennel arugula salad with strawberries and orange vinaigrette. Absolutely scrumptious!

What am I looking at, you might ask? Roasted chicken with paper thin slices of potato delicately tucked under the skin. Surrounded by a bed of sweet potatoes, garlic, lemon, onions and roasted in the cast iron. It was juicy. It was delicious. It was a little bit weird 😳🐓 Roasting whole chickens will forever be one of our favorite things to cook! Bon appetite! @ Sonoma, California

Chocolate covered strawberries with white chocolate drizzle. You don’t always need a special occasion to eat these delicious treats!

Bucket list ✅✅✅!!! We went foraging for mushrooms in Cloverdale yesterday afternoon. We chased the sunset and found a few of these gems. Don’t worry, we didn’t eat them! What an incredible experience! @ Sonoma from Scratch

Last night I learned how to properly pick a duck leg for duck confit. It was hard not to eat all those luscious rich meat chunks while I was working!!! But how can you call it work when you love it?!
