My Cooking Philosophy
I love to make healthy food taste delicious. Great ingredients make it so much easier ;-) My style, I often say, is Californian. What that means to me is that I borrow flavor profiles from around the world, emphasizing Asian, Mediterranean, Mexican, focusing on the amazing produce California offers.
I put a very high priority on choosing all organic ingredients. I think using organic ingredients makes for a healthier diet and a healthier planet. Most of my menus are 100% organic. In my kitchen I stock organic oils, vinegars, spices, condiments, stocks and of course, that’s what I buy when shopping for produce and protein. (The exception is seafood. When choosing seafood, I always buy wild—and fresh as well, when possible.).
Of course, these preferences of mine are just that—my preferences. I am happy to defer to the client’s preferences.

Special Diets
I love to create food that is healthy and delicious. My years of experience cooking for clients with specific food goals helps me to produce delicious results within the dietary restrictions governed by their preferred or prescribed diet.
I curate my repertoire of recipes to produce exciting and delicious meals working with diets such as Paleo, Low-FODMAP, SIBO, Bulletproof, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free.
Services
I focus on creating a personalized menu for each client. I am happy to work with a client’s food restrictions and preferences. I excel in providing a menu or two per day to the client, whether that means a meal cooked in their home, food delivered to their door, or all the treats for a special event party.
I love to curate a menu with the client to their desires. I am available to cook in the client’s house, or cook in my kitchen and deliver prepared meals to the client. As well I can help bring the client’s party food to life
Prepared and Delivered Meals
Prepared meals delivered to your home (contact-less delivery).
From soups to salads, to wild fish and organic meats, I’m happy to source the freshest ingredients for you, prepare them in my kitchen, and deliver it all to you.
Home cooked meals cooked in your home!
If you would like your meal cooked and plated in your own kitchen, I have traveling knives! I will shop for the best ingredients for you, and bring them to your kitchen to create the healthy, home-cooked dishes you dream about.
