I have spent the better part of 20 years as a professional cook eating, traveling and eating some more.  I wanted to share some of that with you, and more importantly, my love of food, wine and cooking.  I have spent a great deal of time collecting and creating recipes and this is my forum to be able to exchange of information.  Interspersed with recipes, photos and the occasional anecdote.  So please enjoy what I have to offer and don't hesitate to share your thoughts as well.  Cheers!

Recipes & Menus

Over the last 12 years I have been compiling my menus and recipes of all the dishes I have done professionally.  Like all chefs, the ultimate goal was to produce a cookbook.  And while that is still a goal, it has taken a back seat to other endeavors in my life, so for now I'll just bring them to you through my website.  These recipes are the actual ones my cooks have used in various kitchens.  The recipes are all formatted on printable pages for you to collect at your leisure.

• Asparagus and Citrus Salad with Hazelnuts, Tarragon and Goat Cheese
• Blackened Shrimp with Bacon Sweet Potato Hash and Cajun Remoulade
• Tillamook Cheddar Cheese Soup
• Crème Brule
