Discover my culinary journey:

My culinary journey was ignited in the warmth of my childhood kitchen, where the lively rhythms of family life and the enticing aromas of my mother’s simple yet soulful dishes first inspired my love for cooking.

Throughout my career, I have championed the use of organic ingredients, often traveling to agricultural regions to collaborate with farmers and encourage the cultivation of specific products.

It’s incredibly rewarding to now see organic ingredients becoming a staple in home kitchens

Every dish tells a story, driven by passion and precision, where each ingredient is expertly chosen and crafted to truly shine.

Having served and created tasting menus since the late 1990s, I can confidently say I helped introduce this trend to D.C.

Collaborating with esteemed chefs and contributing to the success of renowned establishments has been a pivotal chapter in my culinary journey, shaping my approach and refining my craft

Elevating dining to an art form

Driven to excel, I quickly advanced from Sous Chef to Executive Chef, earning recognition from the James Beard Foundation and acclaim at Chef Dance in Park City, Utah, where my culinary skills were celebrated by movie stars.

It’s my pleasure to bring a memorable dining experience to your home and guests.
