Had some of the best food of my life in Barcelona 💃 Eating with reckless abandon with people who love food just as much as I do is gooooood for the soul @alissadeamezaga @bluesagemeditation. I love cooking so much because I enjoy eating food even more.

Mt. Tam Semifreddo with cocoa powder, marinated cherries and feulletine; think semi frozen cheese mousse. How bad can that be? This dish was created out of an excess of Mt. Tam and egg whites on hand. It’s a mix between a cheese course and dessert and pairs beautifully with Napa Cabernet 🍷

In search of the most perfect scone recipe. Introducing test #2 the salad scone from “More than Cake” cookbook (inspired by @madisonnn_cooks). Literally take whatever greens, fruits, herbs that you have in the fridge and throw it in the scone. No waste in this kitchen. Taking more time this year to play 😊

Honeynut squash is hands down my favorite ingredient of winter. Its creamy, sweet, concentrated squash flavor lends itself beautifully in this three ingredient vegan soup.Usually the simplest things are the best. Find it on @threestickswines food and wine menu. #simplyseasonal #privatechefnapa #honeynutsquash

Finally saying goodbye to the wonderful season of the melon. If I cooked for you this summer you probably saw some sort of melon dish on the menu. Goal was to change people’s mind about melon and show it can be exciting and wildly delicious. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 🍈👊🏻

Pretty proud of this one ☝🏻 Lamb carbonara with handmade Cavatelli and house cured lamb bacon. Anytime I have lamb racks on menu I save the trim from frenching and use it to make this beautiful bacon. Cured for 3-4 days in a fennel pollen and allspice mixture and then lightly smoked. #simplyseasonal #nowaste #cheflife #napaprivatechef

A moment for the most perfect tomato I have ever laid my hands on. Quick trip to the farmers market then off to cook for the most wonderful group of people. It’s the simple, slow mornings that I really enjoy 😊
