[Holidays 2009] I am now booking parties for private and corporate events. Small and intimate or large and grand, I promise to make them all unforgettable!
Business, love and life happen over food.
Let me help you enjoy it.
"I believe that food makes the moment, and nothing makes me feel more satisfied or creative than cooking for others." MaryRuth Rera
I began cooking professionally in 1992. By 1997 I wanted to broaden my horizons, so I went to Italy to attend the Scuola di Arte Culinaria in Florence. I earned my degree in authentic Italian cooking. But the life lessons were even more valuable. A passion for eating can be part of a healthy lifestyle. I learned principles of joyful living and healthy cooking that prepared me to serve the most discerning clients. I returned to New York City and started my own business as a personal chef. I cooked for numerous corporate families. In 2001, I was hired to work exclusively as the personal chef for Ralph Lauren and his family.
If I have been successful, that’s because I’m a food innovator who delivers personalized service. I serve clients who have high expectations for service, taste experiences and healthy living. I love to experiment with high quality ingredients, turning them into healthy dishes with surprising flavors, textures, and visual appeal. But from first consultation to final presentation of a family dinner or corporate event, my client’s needs guide me. My clients know I listen and will put on customized events with food choices that meet their specifications.
I know how important meals can be to families and to businesses. My clients want good food, the best ingredients, attention to detail, and a fine atmosphere. They want to live well, be healthy and work productively.
