About The Chef
As a child growing up in Australia my passion for cooking began with helping my mother, a phenomenal cook, in the kitchen. We often prepared meals using organic vegetables and herbs from our garden.
As I grew older my passion developed leading me to learn about different cuisines. I fell in love with Thai cuisine. Over the next 8 years I visited Thailand numerous times, where I was then able to understand the nuance of flavors unique to their cuisine. I then moved on to other cuisines with the same enthusiasm. I continued to travel internationally which both inspired and enhanced my international repertoire.
My culinary training continued as I began to work in kitchens where I had the opportunity to apprentice with highly skilled international chefs in Australia, U.S. and India. For a period of 3 ½ years, I worked as a chef for the SYDA foundation, near Mumbai, India. I managed the kitchens, created menus and led a 6 month training for cooks who had limited experience, to create international gourmet vegetarian meals. I was then invited to assist in creating menus at the SYDA foundation headquarters in upstate NY. I worked there for more than 4 years, designing and preparing gourmet vegetarian meals for guests and events.
I am now living in NYC and completely dedicated to serving my clients delicious, healthy meals that support their wellbeing. I am passionate about cooking for others and focus my efforts on planning meals that are not only creative but well balanced.
