I started my professional life as a graphic designer but my love of food and wine led me to Denver, Colorado where I learned traditional French and Italian cooking techniques and studied wine at Cook Street School of Culinary Arts. Next I studied in Europe at the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners in Asti, Italy and the Hotelellerie & Spa Bernard in Provence, France. Europe is where my love of locally sourced, seasonal ingredients began. What grows together, goes together.

 

I have more than ten years experience cooking in restaurant kitchens, catering special events, private chef work and teaching cooking classes. ​I specializing in farm fresh cuisine and wine and food pairings.
