I am a food stylist, chef, consultant, recipe developer, drinks specialist and cookbook author based in Los Angeles. After finishing at the California Culinary Academy San Francisco I cooked at the innovative Greens restaurant in Fort Mason alongside Annie Somerville and worked at the legendary Alice Waters Berkeley eatery, Chez Panisse.
From there 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 indulged my love of travel and exploring new cuisines with 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, print and national advertising campaigns. My live action commercial work has also taken me internationally. As a Culinary Producer and Food Stylist I 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.
