Culinary Consulting

Tap into my culinary background as an event planner, caterer, and chef manager, working with food stylists and prominent chefs, designing menus and creating recipes for a variety of events and occasions.
 
I’ve done cookbook recipe testing, plating for menu and cookbook photo shoots, interactive chef demonstrations, beer and wine pourings and pairings, and on-site prep for gatherings large and small from dinners at the James Beard House to buffet-style get togethers at private residences and culinary charity activities.
 
I've written, edited, and/or tested literally thousands of recipes, developing comprehensive and complex seasonal menus to pitch to clients for gala dinners and all-day conferences as well as for smaller, intimate events.  I can work with you to create dishes for specific themed gatherings, like Oktoberfest, Summer Barbecues, Holiday Cocktail Parties, and St. Patrick's Day, in addition to drawing up plating guides and steps of service for the actual day for the on-site catering team to create raves from your guests.
