Working with Simone was incredibly stress free and full of delight. I've been eating raw vegan food for over 10 years and have sampled it from some of the best raw vegan restaurants in the world. I can clearly say that Simone's food ranks among the very best in the world. The flavor of her food and the variety of dishes is incredible.
A Glimpse on my recent projects
Farm to Table Fine Dining in Belfast, ME.
Local and seasonal ingredients prepared with modernist techniques; sous vide, dehydration, spherification and more highlighting New England Cuisine.
As the Launching GM and Project manager- working with Chef Jason Paul and Matthew Kenney- we created a beautiful restaurant, award wining bar program and an exceptionally passionate and welcoming team.
Detox
Cookbook: Everyday offerings for a healthier diet and lifestyle.
Assisting Meredith Baird with this book was an ultimate session of 'playing with the beauty of food'. Click the image to see more photos.
"Finding pleasurable ways to incorporate healthy food into your diet is what this book is all about. Whether you want to cleanse for a day, a week, or just simply exchange one meal-with tasty raw, vegan drinks and dishes."
bBar
Organic Superfood and Vitality bar in Del Mar, CA.
As food designer, project manager and GM I was able to work with Lisa Odenweller to create and develop a cutting edge concept.
Offering gourmet raw food, cleanse programs, superfood smoothies, cold pressed juices and continuing education and support.
One aspect of this project was the formulation of Beaming Superfood Plant Based Protein. Purchase here.
HotSpud
Quick Service Restaurant in San Francisco, CA.
Think Chipotle meets Native Foods.
As a managing partner I had wore many hats; from picking the space, kitchen design, complete menu and recipe development, operations and team building.
Our menu highlighted Jacket Potatoes, served along side entree salads and house made desserts. We quickly became - and still are - one of the top rated QSR's in SF.

My catering company allowed me to work in Hawaii, Arizona, Indonesia, Thailand, Peru, Eastern Europe and many places in California.
