Private Dinners

I enjoy doing private dinners because the parties want me to explain the ingredients I use and their history at each course.The intimate setting makes for an enjoyable if not a learning experience.

How much better is the appreciation and taste of what your eating when you know some of the history of that ingredient!

Lectures

Along with cooking with native ingredients, comes the knowledge of its history, methods of preparation, and nutritional benefits. I do lectures, demonstrations, seminars. What do you want to know about America’s indigenous foods?

My lectures involve historical content on native plants. I am one of the few chefs that provides historical references on native plants in my lectures.
Places that I have lectured include:

• Fungus Festival-Oakland
• Wildflower Festival-Oakland

WHAT’S MORE LOCAL THAN NATIVE?
