Too often, restaurants and caterers provide vegetarian (rarely vegan) options that are little more than an after thought add on. My cooking style aims to elevate vegetarian cuisine using a variety of familiar flavor profiles, contemporary and innovative techniques, and carefully selected, high quality ingredients.
Experience
As a mature second career chef, culinary work is a pursuit of passion. I've studied at the International Culinary Center and Institute of Culinary Excellence, both in New York City. I continually look to refine and build my skills working with accomplished chefs including professional classes with Chef Rich Rosendale, one of only 67 Certified Master Chefs in the Nation.
