A cooking secret...

Treating each ingredient with respect, love, and care.

Great energy and amazing, delicious food. One of the best meals I've ever had in my life. To call her a chef is not enough. She is truly a culinary artist and her canvas is your plate. Unforgettable. Hopefully we can do it again next year!
