I create memorable in-home dining and hands-on cooking experiences—rooted in French technique, seasonal ingredients, and the joy of sharing great food.

I bring restaurant-level technique to warm, personal meals in your own kitchen.

I offer personal chef services, small dinner parties prepared in your kitchen, and culinary instruction for individuals, couples, and small groups.

Professionally trained in French techniques, I’ve spent years cooking and teaching through catering, personal chef work, and culinary education. My approach draws on farm-to-table and seasonal cooking, plant-based inspiration, and Northern New Mexican flavors—and lately I’ve been rekindling my love of bread baking with sourdough starters and classic pre-ferments like biga and poolish.

My secret in the kitchen is honoring the process of cooking!

What you can expect when you cook and dine with me

Cooking is my creative outlet

Cooking is my primary creative outlet, and I bring that energy to every menu—balancing classic technique with seasonal ingredients and thoughtful, satisfying flavors.

A grounded path from home cook to professional training

I taught myself to cook at home, and then I built on that foundation with professional training at the Culinary School of the Rockies in Boulder, Colorado. Since then, I’ve developed my craft through years of teaching and cooking for clients in real kitchens and real gatherings.

I honor the process

My secret in the kitchen is honoring the process of cooking—taking the time to do things right, so the meal feels effortless at the table and truly memorable for you and your guests.
