Laura Guagliano-Montiel
I’ve always felt that food, family and friends are a recipe for happiness every time. I use my experience as a chef, my love of food and entertaining, and my creativity to bring that happiness to your table.
With the creation of a meal using a few simple ingredients comes the aromas, tastes, textures and colors that are a feast for the senses. The gift of sharing that with my clients and bringing them back to a wonderful food memory, from a great trip or holiday or childhood is magical. Food is transformative and trans-portive. It can turn the worst day around and make a great day better. Let me share that with you.
