ABOUT

My love of food stems from extensive time spent in the French countryside of the Loire Valley and the Poitou-Charente Studying with the late Chef Robert Reynolds of Le Trou Restaurant.

I earned a degree in pastry and baking at the California Culinary Academy and returned to France for an internship in pastry at Le Petit Prince in Sorgues, a small village near the famous wine region of Chateauneuf de Pape.

I later became pastry chef for Postino Restaurant in Lafayette after training at Tra Vigne in the Napa Valley under Chefs Michael Chiarello and Cat Cora.
