I provide 1) Private Chef Dinners, 2) Catering, 3) & Healthy Home Meal Plans.

My style is unique in that I blend fine dining meets farm-to-table, mostly over live-fire bbq vibes. I strive to use local ingredients including from my personal garden, with an emphasis on my relationships with farmers and PNW food purveyors.

• Bespoke Food Experiences (custom to you and your occasion)

• Local, Seasonal, Organic, and DF/GF

• Gluten-free and 100% dairy-free always without compromising flavor or style

• Wine & Cocktails available! Paired if desired. I'm licensed to offer this in both OR & WA

• Full-service catering including staff, bartenders, mobile bar, etc

Beyond that, I have an extensive background in creating guest experiments from intimate size parties to large high volume, so creating food experiences custom to you is something I incorporate.
