Too often, the challenge for any restaurateur is to make everything in-house. That is why cooking for smaller crowds, notably a small group of diners in a private or remote setting is ideal for chefs. In applying artisanal (that is, hand made) techniques in transforming excellent produce and engaging clients directly, face-to-face in understanding their needs, wants and overall story allows chefs to be successful in providing what customers want, a memorable dining experience. What is as important as knowing where your food comes from, is who is cooking your food.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Raleway,sans-serif;color:#32373c;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">These principles I hold dear with every cooking session, with every customer I meet.
