“Make a dish for someone from your heart,
and they will know you love them.”

That was my first lesson in life from my Grandmother, Ada. I was taught at a young age that when you create foods from scratch, it means you are all in.

Not only do you have to envision the final product, you have to procure the best ingredients, and pay attention to every detail in the presentation.

It is such a joy to honor this, and create the gift of “from-scratch” meals for every client and event we are blessed to work with.
