food
My creativity comes to life when developing and conceptualizing health-supportive, plant-based recipes and menus. I also believe in listening to your body—mine craves plants but sometimes wants a burger, medium-rare with all the cheese and things and a glass of good whisk(e)y. I love cooking with and for people.
I inherited my zest for cooking at a young age from my mother, a former professional chef and caterer in NYC and my favorite culinary teacher. But it wasn't until I was older that I truly realized how connected to cooking I've always been. And in exploring this I began to appreciate the way food can heal and bring people together.

Brooklyn Fork & Spoon - a supper club I developed along with some friends way back in 2011. We ran it for 6 years and then I turned it into a catering company. We catered everything from a botox party to weddings and I then spent a few years catering for clients at Shell’s Loft. Today it exists in blog form where you can find my very loose recipes.
