Chef At Home In Carpinteria
Get to know me better
I enjoy bringing people back to the dinner table; cooking creative and approachable dishes while utilizing local seasonal ingredients.
I am a professional chef who has worked in the industry for 15 years. My experience has led me to focusing on southern Italian and mediterranean flavors, utilizing local seasonal ingredients at the peak of their ripeness. I have formed relationships and work directly with local farmers and food purveyors to showcase the amazing produce we have locally here in Santa Barbara County. Whether its a birthday, bachelorette or wedding; I enjoy curating menus and experiences for people that make their special day that much more memorable.
