delight in the magic of cooking

Grounded in French techniques enriched by California’s multicultural influences I rely on a  deep knowledge of the best local producers and gourmet purveyors. My cooking is at once elegant and relaxed, healthy and playful.  My hands-on cooking classes have received wide acclaim, as have my homemade preserves. I also offer intimate dinners and special celebrations in the comfort of your own home.

Heading for Provence

Fragrant fields of lavender, ancient olive groves, sun-drenched villages perched atop limestone cliffs under an azure sky. I will be in France from June 24 until July 19, perfecting details of a planned 2024 small group tour to Provence.

    Beyond recipes, it is the spirit of delight in the magic of cooking that I want to share with you. Technique matters and you will learn much in our time together, but in addition to skills I will introduce you to a relaxed, intuitive approach that will transform the way you relate to food.
