Tall & Tiny Goods

Introduction: Do you want to throw a dinner party as hostess but not chef? Are you craving healthful lunches to bring to the office but don't have time to cook? Do you want to surprise your partner with a fabulous dinner? No matter what the nature of your culinary request, I have the experience and passion to make it unforgettable. I will tailor-make your meals to include your favorite flavors and stay within your budget. The food that I make is most at home in cast iron or bubbling inside the belly of a dutch oven. It is warm, soothing and multilayered and balanced above all. I lean on both the rustic quality of Mediterranean tradition where ingredients are highlighted seasonally at the peak of their flavor and combined simply: salt, acid and olive oil to retain a purity of flavor, as well as the deep, unctuous quality of Indian and Middle-Eastern cuisine, slow braises, intricate spice mixtures, cooking low and slow, transforming ingredients through time and technique to a stew or a curry that is so much more than the sum of its parts. I am happy to create anything you can dream up! Food that blows your mind does so because it piques every part of your senses without going too far in any direction. It is balanced, a rich sauce cut with lemon and heat, grilled fish drizzled with good olive oil and fresh herbs, ricotta toast smeared with honey and a sprinkling of salt, these are the intersections where happiness happens for me.
