I specialize in providing culinary consulting for organizations and communities that require Aboriginal food expertise combined with classical chef mastery:  large game, game birds, small game, fish and seafood, enhanced by native herbs and seasonings, vegetables and wild edibles.

As a professional chef with over 35 years in the business, I offer guidance and leadership to those seeking to develop their cultural and educational programs and business services as well as those seeking to entertain through a highly popular and engaging presentation of food and cooking.
