Coming soon 🖤

As chefs, we pick up tips, tricks, and recipes from all the places we’ve been and all these taste memories are a part of who we are as chefs. Part of our culinary perspective and influence our style.

These aerated gruyère filled gougiers were a staple at restaurant Petit Crenn, back in the day when I was there. Got tons of practice busting these out for every guest who came to the restaurant. Major shoutout to all the mentors I’ve had along the way who molded me into the Chef I am today 🖤

From coast to coast, you’ll find me cooking up a storm wherever I go!! This weekend I had the pleasure of going to the Jersey Shore for a dinner party for 13!

TBH - My fave course I served last night was the fish course. Sushi grade salmon torchon with vegetable ash, crispy rice, and black garlic miso sauce. Pickled kumquats, wasabi shoots, & black sesame.

The soup last night has been my hit soup of the SUMMER! People have loved this one and I do too - esquite soup with charred corn, chipotle, cotija, lime, and cilantro.

Pasta course: tortellini filled with ricotta, pancetta, and wild mushrooms in a Calabrian chili butter sauce & pecorino cheese. Served with my homemade focaccia and homemade butter with black volcanic salt (from )

My famous braised short ribs over Parmesan truffle polenta with my signature demi sauce - simmered for about 24 hours.

Dessert 1 - matcha mochi, raspberry, mini croquant crisps

Dessert 2 - Italian olive oil cake, pistachio cremeaux, cara cara orange gel
