I'm a personal chef working in the Northern VA area. I've been a personal chef with my own business for 2 solid years and hope to keep the business going even in tough economic times. My passion is food; I love to see people enjoying my food preparations!
My favorite things to cook
Main entrees with lots of creativity; dishes with bold and bright flavors. I also love making traditional Italian and French dishes - timeless creations full of romance.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Cooking lamb and chicken on a hot stone; dipping in a variety of sauces.
My cooking triumphs
Cooking "clean" and flavorful foods for my more exclusive clients who have very sophisticated palates. Perhaps - Chilean Sea Bass with Citrus Sauce, Corn and Jicama Salad; Meditteranean Couscous - to perfection!
My cooking tragedies
A Christmas Tree cake. The three was cut in concentric squares, each arranged in ascending order to form a tree. The cake was incredibly firm, heavy, and tasteless; the icing did not "flow" the way the recipe claimed; and it was so heavy, even 10-inch skewers couldn't keep it from falling over! Oy! What a mess! Auto-trash!
