Private Events and Celebrations
Whether you’re gathering at home or you’re on vacation, keeping it casual or going celebratory, I will design the menu accordingly while addressing any guests’ special dietary needs of which I’m made aware. I locally source my ingredients wherever and whenever I can, with seasonality top of mind. I take sourcing locally seriously, not only to support fellow farmers, but because it often means looking no further than out my back door. Upon booking, I may even reserve my chef-grown produce just for you!
Food and Wine Pairings
For those of you looking for a wine pairing experience, I have spent my career perfecting the alchemy of pairing wine and food. I believe that tasting wine as food is the key ingredient to the successful pairing of the two.
Wine enthusiasts understand particular varietals share characteristics. However, the range of individual complexities vary from vintage to vintage, vineyard to vineyard and winemaker to winemaker. Tasting a specific varietal with food that brings out these complexities is an amazing magical adventure. Whether wine tasting with friends or savoring a special bottle that you have stored for the perfect moment, my cuisine will elevate the experience to its fullest potential.
Specialty Cakes and Desserts
Aww…the grand finale! For some (like my wife), dessert is the only reason for eating dinner. When out together, we are often asked who does the cooking at home. We both do, but typically, I’m the savory sort and she’s the sweet sort. She’s my go-to cake expert (especially gluten free), but I have my specialties as well: chocolate cabernet cheesecake, tiramisu truffle (not bite size!) and black pepper port ice cream to name a few. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want a sweet finish, we’ve got you covered.
