My cooking philosophy is represented by three main goals:
– Slow down at meal time.
– Taste and enjoy your nourishment.
– Try to eat a wide variety of flavors, textures and colors.
For all of us, the time to enjoy the simple pleasures in life, like an evening meal, can be easily challenged by other demands. My goal is to offer to your dinner table a proper pause in the day, to refuel and regroup with your loved ones, over a dinner I’ve made for you, sourced as seasonally as possible. Enjoy your dinnertime.
I grew up in a small town in the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina, where summertime wild blackberries, fall freshly-pressed apple cider, crisp winter pine air, and spring’s fragrant lilacs shaped my senses. Whether it’s North Carolina, Boston, NYC, France or various European travels, I love learning and appreciating surroundings and cuisines.
Life gets busy, and we must make an effort to slow it all down every once in awhile.
About the name
My maiden name is Collier. One of my uncles and his wife owned a neighborhood butcher shop and deli in Charlestown, MA, by the name Collier’s Market. They closed its doors in the 90’s, after twenty wonderful years, but its memory lives on in those Charlestown streets.
Honoring the past, and looking to the future, it felt only right to give the name new life. Here’s to happily feeding a new generation of busy people and families!
