Introduction: I think most chefs would say it's about creating the cuisine. Yes, the cuisine is important but making people smile and to hear that "yummy" sound come from them is what makes me smile when I prepare cuisine for customers and my family. I love to share my knowledge of the Culinary Arts. Teaching/Tutoring so rewarding when you see your student(s) get the "aha" look on their face when they accomplish a task they didn't think they could ever do.

Matthew is extraordinary! The way he blends flavors to match the event is delightful - we used him to make appetizers for an art reception featuring art from around the world. He matched an appetizer to each region! The presentation was stunning, and last, but not least, he left our kitchen SPOTLESS!

FAQs

What types of customers have you worked with?
There are three primary types of services that I am highly involved with. I perform lots of recipe research and creation for my customers looking for just he right cuisine for their special event or just a family meal. One of my common duties I perform is helping locate or creating menus or recipes for people with special food needs such as diabetics, lactose intolerant, glucose intolerant and people who want to eat healthy for various reasons.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
The Culinary Arts is a fun and fascinating place. Come with me to explore this wonderful world. Whether I'm preparing a meal for your family or guests or teaching you how to cook like a professional chef, it's an exciting experience.
