Welcome to The Swanky Table, for those who want to create simple, classic culinary beauties at home. Turn common and inexpensive ingredients into satiating, healthy meals, simple enough for everyday but enticing enough for formal gatherings. Take seasonal local produce and turn it into stylish, glamorous faire that is delicious and satisfying. Since many of these dishes fall into the “make ahead” category, the best part is you’ll entertain with passion and presence–enjoy your glass of champagne and socializing without distraction. Add fresh flowers, warm hospitality and good cheer, and viola!, you will nurture family and friends alike.

After years working in the food industry, and as a full-time parent and homemaker, I know firsthand the pleasures of creating savory, artistic meals for family and friends, and now I want to be your confidante in the kitchen. Bon appétit, mes amis!
