About

My current fascination is healing through nutrition. I started on this path of healthy cuisine after having my own issues with my health. I have learned so much about healing myself with good food and nutrition through constant self-experimentation that I feel like an expert in nutrition and natural cures. Over the last few years I have improved my health greatly, dropping all the extra pounds and maximizing my health. I know Ive made a difference already just by spreading good information about nutrition to my friends and former students. This has really empowered me to be a part of the solution, fighting for the values that I consider to be so important as a chef. I love working with people and especially love teaching people new things to enhance their cooking experience. I also love creating great food for people to enjoy. I have a great sense of accomplishment when my guest or clients are satisfied with the incredible food produced.

Hired on Thumbtack

I posted a job for a gnocchi making class for my husband's birthday and Greg was one of the first ones to respond. My husband and I have tried to make gnocchi several times by ourselves and it has never turned out right. Trying to think of a birthday gift for my husband, I thought why not hire a chef to come to our home and teach us! I ended up selecting Greg and we worked on a menu weeks prior to the event and he was very responsive and creative with ideas on what to make. We ended up deciding on a 4 course meal. Greg sent me a list of food to buy at the store prior to his arrival. Once he arrived to my house I gave him the lay of the land of our kitchen and he went right to work. Greg was very clean during his cooking process and considerate of our home and kitchen items. He did a great job explaining to us what he was doing and why and also giving us several cooking tips to use for the future. Greg also shares my husband's love for fermentation with vegetables so we had a conversation about that too! I would definitely hire him again for a future cooking lesson/party!

I've experienced Greg's cooking and food knowledge, and it is very very good! As a fellow chef, we can discuss food on a detailed level, and I find his thought process to be insightful. He has a strong knowledge of cooking technique and ingredients .

Greg is very professional, knowledgeable, approachable, and a great teacher. I hired him to teach Fermentation classes at our Community Cooking School and we received rave reviews from the students. I am looking forward to hiring him again this year, and also just can't wait to eat his food again because it is so tasty!
