It’s a different thing to cook a meal using donated ingredients, garden-grown delights, and a dash of prance. 🌿

Day two at had me emotional over cheese and bean enchilada casserole. Not because it was fancy - but because it was intentionally used. Nothing wasted. Every bit chosen. Every bite nourishing.

Cooking at ECHO is already changing my relationship with food. After years of burnout in the food world, this feels like a soothing salve. A return to why I started cooking in the first place.

At ECHO, my goal is to practice intentional use - making thoughtful, respectful choices with every ingredient. Whether something lands on a plate, enriches our compost, or is passed along to our outreach, it’s all considered. It’s all honored.

More updates coming soon as I grow the Workforce Development program, shape new menus, and — most importantly — keep putting hot food in people’s bellies.

Thanks for being part of the journey.

Out in the hills of San Luis Obispo, we cooked slow and stayed steady.

This salt-crusted brisket came to life with time and care. Tender, deeply seasoned, kissed by the smoke of alderwood and finished with a chimichurri that cuts through like green lightning. Bright, bold, and herbal, it’s the kind of thing you remember long after the plate’s cleared.

Just good food, honest work, and flavors that speak for themselves.

Greens from garden to bowl- grown with care right here on our farm, along with local and fresh toppings!

There’s nothing quite like the fruits (and greens) of your hard work!

Two of my favorite techniques, side by side on one plate.

A 48-hour sous vide tri-tip — impossibly tender, kissed by fire just before serving. And a roasted salmon mi-cuit — just barely cooked through, buttery and delicate, the way salmon dreams of being.

These dishes are a study in patience, precision, and flavor. Whether bold or subtle, I let the ingredients speak their truth.

We’ve been absolutely OBSESSED with these pavlovas since a wedding earlier this season. Crisp on the outside, marshmallowy within - each one is a little edible cloud of joy.

They’re artful. They’re delicious. And they’re the perfect canvas for whatever seasonal fruit is at its peak. Right now? Think glistening berries, golden apricots, maybe even a drizzle of local honey and edible flowers if we’re feeling extra fancy (we are).

If you’re planning a gathering that needs a little prance and a lot of wow - these are your showstoppers.

Gather ‘Round the Table
At The Prancing Chef, we believe food is more than fuel—it’s a celebration, a spell, a shared breath between souls.

Our Druid Family-Style Feasts are rustic, abundant, and seasonal—crafted to bring people together in joy, reverence, and full bellies. Each dish honors the land, the harvest, and the simple magic of breaking bread together.

Perfect for celebrations, circles, or sacred suppers where the food flows as freely as the laughter.

Let’s feast in rhythm with the Earth.

Winery Country, Meet Porchetta Perfection
Slow-cooked sous vide porchetta, seasoned with wild herbs and garlic, crisped to golden bliss, then finished with a red wine reduction drawn from the vineyard itself. Every bite melts with intention—flavor that lingers, stories that deepen.

This isn’t just food. It’s a slow ritual of flavor, fire, and finesse.

Private chef experiences like this—crafted in Paso Robles wine country, where the land and table speak the same language.
