I am a food stylist, chef, consultant, recipe developer, drinks specialist and cookbook author based in Los Angeles. I first cooked at the innovative Greens restaurant in San Francisco alongside Annie Somerville and worked at the legendary Alice Waters Berkeley eatery, Chez Panisse.
I segued my chef skills and talent into food styling. My first film assignment was James Cameron's TITANIC. That venture led to a succession of movies such as Oceans 11, Vanilla Sky, XXX2 State of the Union, The Family Stone, Bi-Centennial Man, The Wild Wild West, Bounce and Town & Country to name a few.
My editorial work includes international assignments for Bon Appetit magazine where I cooked and styled my way through the Greek Islands, Paris, Mexico, Croatia, Scotland and the USA. Additionally, my work is seen in many cookbooks, commercials, print and advertising campaigns.
As a Culinary Producer and Food Stylist I have worked on the Emmy award winning Food Network shows Every Day Italian and Giada at Home. I styled the launch of the “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” campaign for Target, which features Giada De Laurentiis’s debut food and cookware line.
I hold certification from Stanford/Center for Health Education in Nutrition Science which is an invaluable tool for recipe developing and consulting.
I am the author and stylist of the cookbooks Cooking in Cast Iron and Juicy Drinks for Williams Sonoma.
