His style is known to include elements of Low Country, Italian, Caribbean, and Cajun/Creole cuisines. He tends to have a soft spot for any bounty that comes from the sea. Now settled with his family in Woodstock, Vermont he is able to apply his skills and passion to the wonderful resources from our local farms & producers.
