I teach cooking classes, cater small events and I am a personal chef. Whether I am catering, being a personal chef or teaching private and public cooking classes, my devotion is to my craft. My passion is using local, organic and sustainable food whenever possible as well as showing clients how wonderful and seductive the world of food can be!

I am an aspiring professional food writer. I currently write for my website and regularly contribute to NaturallySavvy.com.

Keeping my clients happy and introducing them to new foods. Listening to their dietary needs and concerns and implimenting those desires. Also educating clients about sustaintability by using produce and animal proteins that are in season.
