My cooking classes and presentations for business, schools and organizations are a creative addition to wellness programs and special events… a unique mix of culinary entertainment and education.
To build confidence and enjoyment in the kitchen, my events combine culinary technique and artistry with food science, food trends, healthy eating and easy cooking techniques – drawn from my book, and weekly 10-year newspaper column – The Food Party! You and your team will benefit from my broad experience of more than 25 years in food service wearing all types of hats – and toques!
I’ve worked on products and projects ranging from how food effects our gut microbiome with Stanford University, and raising heritage chickens in Pescadero, to teaching anyone, everywhere how to eat delicious, healthy and fast. I teach how to enjoy cooking, inspired by flavor and systems which make daily cooking easier. If it ain’t fun it don’t get done.
My life-long passion has been the connections between food, the environment and health; it inspires my cooking which is plant-forward, seasonal, high-vibe and farm-focused. I specialize in vegetarian, vegan, macrobiotic, and gluten free, preferring local, grass-fed and wild animal products as a side dish.
I love a good celebration and bring a customized touch to every event and project. You and I work together to create a special memory in harmony with your preferences and budget.
