Welcome!

I’m a chef and mother who believes that every home-cooked meal can be a little (ok, a lot) more special. Using my professional chef skills, I help you romanticize the everyday—whether it’s a cozy family dinner or an elegant dinner party. I love to host, and I want to make hosting effortless and enjoyable for you too.

As a professional chef, I’ve learned how to efficiently prep and run the kitchen without turning meal prep into a drudgery. The secret? It’s about setting yourself up for success with smart planning and a bit of strategy, so cooking feels like a joy, not a chore. I’ll help you streamline your process, so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying your meal and your guests. I will also help you figure out how prepping like a chef fits into YOUR life, because not everyone has a large 3 hour window to cook dinner, am I right ?!? No need for bland, repetitive meal prep—let's make every dish feel fresh, exciting, and full of flavor.

On my Substack, I offer a Monthly Menu Club, a subscription designed to take the stress out of planning and cooking for gatherings. For $5/month or $50 annually, you’ll receive a beautifully curated menu on the first of each month featuring five seasonal recipes: an appetizer, a cocktail, a side, a main, and a sweet.

Each menu includes:

• 5 seasonal recipes that bring fresh flavors to your table. These can be served individually or for a dinner party!

• Prep lists for a smooth and stress-free cooking experience.

• Grocery lists organized by store section for easy shopping.

• Wine pairings to complement your dishes and elevate your meal.

• Chef’s tips to help you cook like a pro.

Each menu is formatted like a cookbook-style booklet that you can collect and store in a binder, creating your own personal, ever-growing cookbook!

In addition to the booklets, you also get 4 exclusive recipes every month along with printable pdfs of every recipe, grocery lists and prep lists! I email out one exclusive monthly menu club recipe every week (in addition to all of my free recipes) to keep things fun and exciting in your kitchen! Not only do you get every recipe (free an paid,) but you will get printable PDFs of every recipe, a grocery list, and prep lists (one for hosting and one for at home meal prep because they’re 2 different ball games).

When you subscribe, you ALSO get full access to all the archives and previous booklets, so you can start building your collection right away. I hope you join and start to romanticize your own home cooked meals, because yes, it’s POSSIBLE even if you’re so busy like me.
