Tim O'Mara/Red Light Culinary Studio

I have spent over 30 years in hospitality, managing a variety of restaurants, clubs and banquet facilities. After many years of corporate operations, I find myself simplifying life and offering the skills I’ve aquired to help busy families provide healthy meals, assist elderly in need of meals preparation, entertain small groups in a home setting, or providing cooking instruction to individuals and small groups as a means of self-enrichment or entertainment. I am familiar with a variety of common dietary restrictions and am happy to conduct research for any requirements outside the usual scope. As a chef, I feel a sense of connectedness through food. It’s one of the few things in which all of humanity shares. It speaks to geography, culture and tradition and breeds unity among people. To be invited to a man’s dinner table is among the highest honor one can receive from another. To prepare the meal is an honor much greater. Eat Well- Chef Tim O’
