The story behind The Culinary Atelier.

“Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.”
— Julia Child

The Culinary Atelier grew from my lifelong love of cooking, creating, and bringing people together around the table.

​

Years ago, I had the extraordinary opportunity to meet Julia Child in a restaurant. During our conversation, she encouraged me to go to culinary school. That encounter, along with a few other memorable moments with her over the years, set me on a path to study traditional French culinary arts. Along the way, I discovered my passion for recipe development and the art of creating truly exceptional food.​​

​

The Culinary Atelier is the culmination of that journey: a place where I can share what I love most about cooking—the craft, the techniques, beautiful ingredients, and the joy of creating something wonderful for the people around your table.

My hope is that whether you join me for a class, try one of my recipes, or bring something from The Culinary Atelier into your home, you leave feeling a little more inspired to cook, create, and gather.

Craft

Great food begins with care, curiosity, and attention to detail.

Connection

Food brings people together - to slow down, share, learn, and enjoy.

Hospitality

Every guest should feel welcomed, comfortable, and part of the experience.

There’s always another experience waiting.
