I have been passionate about food and photography my whole life and I have decided it is now time to combine the two passions. So I am giving a go on all the things I love and hopefully by sharing them with you, you will like them too.
My Story
I’m Jamie, a mother of two living in coastal Connecticut. I graduated from the French Culinary Institute in 2001, and have spent most of my career working in and around the food industry.
I spent my pre-culinary school years cooking in San Francisco, marketing for food websites, and studying food and wine while traveling through Europe. After working under Chef Stanley Wong for a bit, I really wanted to run my own kitchen. I went to Tuller Fine Foods, a French specialty food shop in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, where I developed the menu and all of the recipes. After a year, I decided to go out on my own so I could share my knowledge of and passion for food and wine with others. I have spent the past 20 years teaching, private cheffing, making TV appearances, and running a catering business. I was also lucky enough to spend 4 years working for Dee and Tommy Hilfiger as their private chef. One of the greatest jobs in the world!
I have also been lucky enough to have some great press. Please see some of the links below so you can learn more about what I have done.
