I've been a super-fan of Makenna and her Courageous Cooking School (situated in Southern France in Julia Child's old holiday home!) since the beginning of the pandemic - and it doesn't fade with time! As one of my 'recipe free' Mentors, I love taking any opportunity to chat about Food & France.

Hubs & Pods!
Are you still thinking about the traditional "Triangle" approach to organizing your Kitchen layout? You're missing the biggest station - the PREP. My friends at Northwest Culinary say that 80% of your time in the Kitchen is spent in Prep, so why is it so rarely considered as the main design point? We're wondering that, too.
Join Robert Blakemore from SwitchDoor as he interviews ME in the *new* Kitchen!

Are you considering refreshing your Kitichen, or creating a New one?
We'd BOTH be happy to help!

Catch a glimpse of projects in all phases shown in 3D in this montage! 3D modeling - whether in rough or fully rendered form - is a valuable tool for envisioning a fully composed Kitchen. Space and finishes are more easily contemplated, tested, and confirmed in the 3D format.

I'm honored to have worked with some incredible homeowners this past year on the 'hearts of their homes' - this is just a few of those homes, in various stages of Design. Enjoy!

A garden journey that led to one of the tastiest pastas I've ever tasted!
Watch along as I pull fresh green, purple & curly basil (BAH-sil or BAY-sil?!) out of the Garden, laminate small leaves into Pasta, pestle a pesto, and garnish with YUMS!
