About

Chef, author, restaurateur.

I have spent the last fifteen years building a life around food. It's more than just a chore for me. It's what I'm on the planet to do. I absolutely love it and love sharing it with you.


I trained under chef Matthew Kenney and published two books with Skyhorse Publishing. In Sedona, I run Local Juicery and Wildcraft Kitchen, two restaurants built around organic, seasonal, plant-forward food. My consulting company, SCR Consulting / Ceremony Foods, develops products including Full Circle Matcha.


My platform, Substack and Instagram, is where I share what I am actually cooking, thinking about, and living through. Real food for real life. No rules.
