Estate Culinary Management

Estate Culinary Management

Bespoke Dining Programs & Holistic Household Integration

I provide comprehensive culinary leadership for prominent estates and high-functioning households. My approach, The Healing Hearth, treats the kitchen as the center of the home—combining the technical rigor of a clinical nutritionist with the artistry of a globally-trained executive chef.

The Director’s Approach

For families requiring more than a meal, I offer full-scale culinary management designed to integrate seamlessly into your estate’s rhythm.

  • Customized Nutritional Protocols: Expertise in designing menus for complex dietary needs, including Auto-Immune Protocol (AIP), Ketogenic, Anti-inflammatory, and personalized “Food as Medicine” tracks.
  • Estate-to-Table Sourcing: Leveraging a deep background in permaculture and the SF Bay Area’s finest purveyors (including Stemple Creek Beef, Fogline Poultry, Straus Pastured Dairy, and Lundberg Regenerative Rice, etc.) to ensure 100% organic, ethical, and seasonal integrity.
  • Family & Youth Engagement: A positive, educational presence in the home. I specialize in fostering a healthy relationship with food for children and teenagers through age-appropriate kitchen involvement and diverse palate development.
  • Operational Excellence: Expert management of kitchen inventory, vendor relations, and multi-property logistics. I am adept at establishing new kitchens, training staff, and maintaining the highest standards of discretion and sanitation.

The Repertoire

My menus are informed by over 15 years of global research, including field work in the Oaxacan Cloud Forest, France and Madagascar. I specialize in Innovative International Cuisine that prioritizes both flavor and functional health.

  • Oaxacan Traditions: Authentic, hand-ground moles and comal-toasted hearth cooking.
  • French Aromatics: Sophisticated flavors, traditional sauces, mediterranean fusion, cultured terroir and culinary history.
  • Clean Pacific Fusion: Seasonal seafood-centric menus utilizing Japanese-inspired techniques and coastal California bounty.
  • The Wellness Bar: A curated daily program of medicinal bone broths, custom-calibrated green smoothies, and probiotic-rich ferments.
