Langhorne Culinary
About
Over the last seven years, I have worked in a wide range of establishments including a trendy wine bar serving elevated menus, an authentic Italian trattoria, and an upscale vegan joint.
My goal is to shake-up home cooks’ routines and provide them with the skills and knowledge to effectively show-off at their next dinner party. Over the last several years, I have learned many techniques to promote sustainability, reduce food waste, and promote health and wellness. Are you just looking to reduce how much you spend on take-out? I can help you with that too.
Some of my favorite classes from the past few years are: Build a Better Veggie Plate, Fresh Cheese Making, Spice Bazaar: Spice Identification and Techniques, and Cooking Without Alcohol: Building Flavor with Non-Alcoholic Ingredients.
My experience includes cooking for clients with many types of allergies and health requirements. I enjoy the challenge and encourage clients to seek dietary accommodations.
From low-carb, to vegan, to nut-free, I’ve got you covered. I have a current ServSafe Food Protection Manager certificate and a ServSafe Allergens Certificate.
Contact me today to schedule your class.
I really enjoy teaching and helping people achieve their gastronimic goals.
