My career began at the apron strings of perhaps my greatest culinary influence, my Grandmother, Pauline.  I come from a Mexican-Italian heritage and grew up in my Grandmother's vibrant kitchen tasting and cooking the most amazing home cooked Mexican food using only the best ingredients.  I continued cooking and entertaining friends and family with new recipes and delightful meals interspersed with my travels around the US and Europe critiquing restaurants.  My passion for cooking led me to the prestigious French Culinary School Cook Street where I honed my skills and techniques.  

After graduating I used my Classic French training as a Personal and Private Chef in Denver and Los Angeles.  In addition, I enhanced my skill by teaching cooking lessons.  In LA where I now live, I have worked at some of the area's top restaurants including Muchos in Manhatten Beach and Anisette in Santa Monica. 

You will see me on this lovely site sharing recipes, giving live cooking lessons & sharing my latest restaurant critiques, among other fun stuff. 

Whether you need help on your next dinner party, want to know what I thought of a restaurant, style you for your next event or just wanna say hi, you know where to find me..right here.
