More about me

For me, cooking is...

Sharing. Restorative.. celebratory. Nurturing.

I learned to cook at...

My earliest cooking experience was at my Italian grandmother’s knee. I started my apprenticeship immediately after high school in my hometown.

A cooking secret...

Exercising what I call food memory in the clients I serve. No oddball combinations, just simple, yet exacting technique. Less flash, more familiarity.
