Get to know me better

Professional chef with 16+ years' experience serving CNY and the Fingerlakes, bringing deep regional knowledge and refined technique to every dish.

My career reflects a passion for creating comprehensive dining experiences, with a focus on quality, consistency, and seasonality. When you invite me into your home, I'll prepare a custom meal from scratch that focuses on your tastes & preferences, so that you can focus on your guests and making memories.

When I'm not cooking, I'm spending quality time with my husband and our son; we love travel, live music, good books, and great food. I also enjoy gardening and tending to my flock of chickens, which I incorporate whenever possible into the meals I prepare for clients and their guests.
