Intimate Epicurean Experiences
To me, cooking is not a game or a contest. It’s an expression of love in its simplest form. This doesn’t mean it has to be some super fancy 4-course dinner that takes all day to prepare—it could be a bag of ramen. To cook means to feed your body and your mind. It helps […]
To help kick off National Celiac Disease Awareness Month, I’ll be going on Fox19’s morning show tomorrow morning to share one of my favorite recipes for a gluten-free apple pie cheesecake. Tune in to hear how I adapt my cooking to a gluten-free pie crust and still keep it gourmet. Here’s the recipe: Crust: 1 […]
This is a recipe that I featured locally on the Fox19 Morning Show. I used an indoor infrared grill, but you could, of course, use this on your outdoor grill. Remember to keep your cuts consistent to assure that your meat and vegetables are cooked evenly. And as always take any opportunity you get to enjoy […]
So it is Easter weekend and I figured I would share a funny Easter Day story from the old childhood. To tell you this story, I have to preface it with telling you that my Dad was a huge practical jokester and the funniest person I have ever known. He was the kind of guy […]

I thought I’d leave some of the grilling tips I’ll share during the event here so that you can bring more flavor to your next cookout! First of all, the grill is […]
I’m so proud to be partnering with local online women’s publication, Cincy Chic as their Chef-in-Residence. Check out this reprint below of my first column. Be sure to follow Cincy Chic on Instagram as I go on some cool epicurean adventures with them. As a private chef, I cook meals for all sorts of special occasions. […]
There are some days that you want to erase from the calendar. You want to just sleep through it and pretend that it never happen. For me that day is June 8th. June 8th is when I lost my best friend: a man who always had the answers in the toughest times, always had the […]
Rhode Island is, as a fact, the country’s smallest state. It only measures about 1,200 square miles—and the entire state would fit into Texas more than 220 times—but don’t be deceived by the square mileage.
