Welcome Home

Aubergines and Olives provides personalized consulting and shopping services to help you bring friends and family back to your table. We blend culinary expertise and love of simplicity with your lifestyle and dietary preferences to help you create a customized plan to nourish your family and bring ease and laughter back into your kitchen.

In our first consultation, I will help you organize your kitchen to maximize efficiency, identify pantry and refrigerator restocking needs, and evaluate your cookbooks to make meal preparation less daunting. I offer complete menu-planning services to help you prepare quick, healthy gourmet meals.

I am also pleased to offer restocking services for clients who have part-time urban or vacation residences and for clients who have been away on business or personal travel.

The inspiration for Aubergines and Olives comes from my love of food and my love of friends and family. I believe that cooking and sharing a meal with loved ones is both an art and a heart-full practice that can simplify, balance and bring joy to your home and inner life.

In our hectic modern world, individuals and families find themselves struggling to keep up with the maddening pace. Fast and prepared foods have not delivered on their promise and, instead, have helped create the most overweight and unhealthy population among civilized cultures.

There is an alternative, however, and it can transform your kitchen and your life. With careful planning, love and a sense of humor, you can create simple yet elegant meals that nourish the body and soul in about the same time it takes to pick up take out.
