Private Dinner
Multi-course tasting menus, plated to order. 2–12 guests.
North County coast — family gatherings, beach houses, and resort-area events.
Carlsbad covers a lot of ground — beachfront condos, hilltop estates, family compounds. Each home shapes the menu in its own way.
Carlsbad is family country — lagoons, the flower fields, and resort weekends that call for an easy, generous table. I cook for birthdays, reunions, and celebrations here, often family-style so everyone digs in and goes back for more. Ingredients come from nearby farms and markets, organic wherever possible. From a backyard gathering to a rental-house dinner, I take care of shopping, cooking, and cleanup so the hosts get to be guests at their own table.
