“For me, dinner parties bring back a sense of the salon nostalgia: everyone chatting over a delectable spread… Plus, my favorite music is always playing (goodbye weird hipster Muzak!). The dinner party is also a nice low-pressure way to gather in 2023. Maybe you have sober friends, or a friend who really can’t afford a dinner out right now—at home, everyone’s invited to the table in whatever way they can show up. Bring … an ice breaker, or bring a lovely aperitif; there’s something for everyone.” —Emily Ziemski, Food Editor FOOD 52

Each meal, be it for a table of 4 or 14, is a story of its own. I co-write these stories through bespoke menus, creating singular moments with plot lines that you can literally “sink your teeth into”, that come to life in memories that stay with you. We can work closely to develop a dinner with some of your favorite dishes, or you can just ask me to create a seasonal menu and I am happy to take it from there.

Be it a personal story to celebrate a milestone birthday or an executive team dinner to celebrate your brand, I love telling your story through my food and menus. All my menus are custom designed incorporating the best of what’s available from the farmers and producers in the Bay Area.
