“When I set out to make a functional food vessel, I use 3 criteria. First it needs to serve it’s function well, second, it needs to stand on it’s own as a work of art, and third, it needs to inspire my palate. I believe food preparation, and presentation to be very important. The time, work, skill, and ingredients to prepare a masterful meal deserve dishes of equal standing. These dishes are one of kind art works, meant for that special occasion dining, an intimate expression of good taste, or an artful every day practice!”
