My Background

I come from a family of chefs. My great grandfather Fred Riccomi owned an Italian restaurant in San Francisco during the 1920s and 30s. He grew all his ingredients on his farm in Mountain View including the produce, poultry and grapes as he was a winemaker.

One of my earliest memories in the kitchen was when my grandfather taught me to make his famous leg of lamb, first, by cutting small incisions in the meat and stuffing it with fresh garlic cloves after which we lathered with fresh rosemary from the garden and olive oil.

I’ve always been incredibly passionate about food and very intuitive in the kitchen which lead me to pursue a career as a personal chef. I never deprive myself or my clients of all the amazing flavors that one can create in the kitchen all while keeping the food clean and healthy. Let me nourish your mind, body and soul!
