Welcome to Chef Daniel's Powerful Nourishment
Here you will find a distillation of my years of kitchen work, burns, cuts, heat, cold, and all, spent in the quest for a style of cooking, distinctly mine. My culinary expression folds in the current scientific thought on nutrition with empirical knowledge of what people find to be delicious. The binding ingredient is a tiny voice of inspiration that tells me when something is “just right.”
I believe that at day’s end, a chef has done his job when the food he cooked up has bridged a connection with past, pleasant memories, through all sensory possibilities – just like the little chef Remy does in the Disney movie, Ratatouille!

Powerful Nourishment is
the name that I have given to my culinary style and philosophy. It
is the deliberate search and application of all food and ingredients
that increase the nourishment capacity of food bite for bite. And
because nobody will eat anything that doesn’t taste good, flavor and
wholesomeness are the prime standards against which all things are
measured before they can become my food. Read

Cooking Classes are
offered on an exclusive basis to individual and groups. No two classes
are alike because each is designed to address each individual’s or
group’s objectives. Some cover delicious, healthy, home cooking menus
for entertainment, while others cover group, hands-on cooking, team-building
or public demonstrations. This section covers a variety of cooking
class formats that I have done. Nothing limits the style or format.
As such, this part of my site will always be a work-in-progress.
