What is Vino & Viand?

My love of wine led me to study with the International Sommelier Guild. Because of my experience in both food and wine, I can offer wine pairing recommendations to complement the flavor profile of each dish.
In my cookbook, I'm including an introduction to the world of wine as well as suggested pairings for each recipe so that you can have an elevated dining experience that rivals that of the best restaurants even when you are enjoying dinner at home.

I completed my culinary training at the New School of Cooking in Culver City. After culinary school, I became part of their teaching faculty. In my years as a Chef Instructor at the school, I taught the kids cooking camp, the adult basic cooking series, recreational classes and hosted private team building events.
I worked for years as a Personal Chef in Los Angeles helping busy families enjoy home cooked meals and entertain in style. I am now working on my first cookbook to compile my favorite recipes and cooking tips so you can cook and meal prep like a pro at home.

I was a writer for The El Segundo Scene, the monthly guide to art, culture, and community in 90245 from November 2018 until July 2022. I am passionate about traveling so that I can experience different foods, wines and cultures around the world.
