I work closely with my clients to develop menus, plan events, and hire staff, to create gorgeous and delicious experiences. Whether it’s an intimate dinner party for two, a coursed meal for 30, or a family style spread for 200, your food will be thoughtfully prepared.
I am passionate about ingredients, and pay close attention to detail with my International, vegetable forward menus that are personalized for each client. I can accommodate special requests, and work with any dietary desires.
I am available for teaching classes for people of all ages in public and private settings. My specialties are Californian/ Mediterranean and Hungarian, with a focus on healthier oils, vegetables, and sustainable meats and seafood.
Extended residencies, cooking for groups, and pop-ups are also highly enjoyable for me. I love to drop into a new location and orient myself with the local offerings, farms, and seasonal ingredients available. I love collaborating!
Rooting into the earth, learning from others, and creating community around food is deeply important. I create conceptual dinners consisting of foraged ingredients and farmers market ingredients.
I worked with a fashion company in Paris to create a dinner where we used only vegetables for dish ware. A client hired me to create a menu where each course summoned the flavors of the landscape of each place the guest of honor had lived throughout her life.
Another gathering was called Silent Cafe, where we invited guests to eat in complete silence.

I have loved taking photographs since I was 13. I received a BFA in Photography. I have been published in multiple International and domestic magazines, specializing in natural light.

I directed and shot this collaborative film about a plant communicator and soil healer. The film toured through a series of U.S cities as screenings in conjunction with seated foraged dinners. Museum of Art and Design (MAD), NY and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) were some of the hosting venues.
