A little about her:

Education: I am independently trained in a broad range of cuisines. I am currently focused on a Pangean approach, using flavors and textures from the entire globe.

Philosophy: I feel strongly about preserving the integrity of the ingredients. When using only the freshest, best products, it is not desirable to "over-create" The true flavors should never be masked by sauces and extraneous additives. I strive to create a memorable meal for each customer. My menus change constantly, sometimes every day, as new items become available.

"My passion for food and wine pairing frequently leads to custom meals for my more discerning customers. I feel my independent training allows me to think more freely and so more creatively when I design menus. I love nothing more than the shocked pleasure on a guest's face when a totally new flavor combination hits their palate, especially when it's an "old hand" at food and wine pairing.

Cooking is what I do. You will always find me on the line. I'm of the old school opinion that a Chef is only as good as the last meal he/she prepared. I love the challenge of always striving to give my guest the best meal they have ever eaten. Hey, we all need goals."
