About Me

I was born in Paris(Boulogne-Billancourt) to an English-born Dutch father and an American mother. I moved to California when I was young and have grown up in L.A. and in a tiny rural town in Colorado. After a few experiments with different careers I found myself getting paid to perform one of my favorite pastimes--cooking. I catered for a while and then resigned to start at the bottom working in a restaurant. I started as a busboy at Les Deux Cafes in Hollywood and four years later I was the Executive Chef after working at every position in between, I left to help a friend open a cafe on Beverly Blvd., which didn't work out. I was Sous Chef at a Silverlake Indian restaurant for a while and also taught cooking classes for a year. I was working as Sous Chef at Counter in the East Village, but now I am cooking at August on Bleecker in the West Village... The CricketSoda Myspace Editor! msprm name="flashvars" value=
