I realized after developing the product concept that in partnerships I need to review and confirm best fit placement and distribution strategy
allowing them the flexibility, scheduling and the how tos to best maximize the opportunity




***still working on this a bit more ... still fine tuning
think I've got a good structure / concept


***I hope this is doable ...
trying to think everything through ... and be a driver to the website
for the hostess gifts and nook items


*** started more as a hobby over the years I've really become a foodie,
love to read cookbooks and food magazines,
and now do a lot of online research
plan menus, find and share recipes

many influences from living in the Bay Area for 20 years


graduated from:
Tante Marie's Cooking School
and
San Francisco School of Bartending
at the time I was considering starting a catering business for cocktail parties
and wanted certification in mixology
but it ended up not being the right fit for that moment in time

Certification from Wines of the World, San Francisco / Ft. Mason
also attended San Francisco Chronicle Wine and Cheese Pairings Series

I have attended many additional cooking classes,
wine tasting and beer tasting series and culinary events over the years

realized that I really did not want to cook or be a chef as a profession
but I really enjoy cooking for friends and family for entertaining
and more of the planning phases and creating a seasonal foundation
of go to menus
decor, events, hostess gifts
more from a business development POV


ARCHIVES ...
Have developed a keen interest in pairings
I really enjoy planning themed menus and events
with drinks and dishes
that pair well !


I've come back to my roots
inspired by many good cooks in the family ...
a bit of an updated take on a lot of family favorites
classic casual fare with easy and light preparations
letting the flavors of the season shine through
supper club plating
an appreciation for fresh and seasonal offerings
... with a little whimsy
