“Last summer the Gilded Grape featured a Lavender Inspired menu, fascinating! We just had to give it a try. Every dish was ever so delicately flavored with the floral herb.”

Bio

As Chef/Owner of THE GILDED GRAPE- Food is my life- it's my Passion! I live to EAT not eat to LIVE! Surrounded by such beauty and abundance, I am blessed to call Wine Country my home!

I strive to allow the seasonal ingredients speak for themselves. Cooking and sharing my food with others are so fulfilling. Traveling on Culinary Tours all over the globe is another Love of mine.

With over 25 years of culinary experience, I began as an assistant to the pastry chef at Jeremiah Towers’ illustrious STARS Restaurant in San Francisco then to Bradley Ogden’s renowned Lark Creek Inn in Larkspur then back to San Francisco as caterer for Mr. Charles Schwab and his top executives before finally finding my dream home in Wine Country.

Besides my own catering company, I often work as an on call chef for special events at The Culinary Institute of America at both Greystone and Copia in Napa, as well as Sonoma Mission Inn and Ramekins Cooking School, and am currently baking in the Pastry department at Montage, Healdsburg’s newest 5 Star resort.

It is my pleasure to serve you- my goal is to create beautiful and lasting culinary memories of your visit here in Wine Country!

Cheers!
