I am a San Franciscan and a FOOD LOVER! I've been cooking professionally since I was 16 years old. And despite a 22 year career at the world famous Beach Blanket Babylon, I've kept a foot in the culinary world as a caterer, food and beverage consultant and accomplished home cook. I am now a teacher and a chef. I've taken the skills, methods and traditions of professional cooking and kitchens and, over the years adapted them for the home cook. I've been building a collection of recipes for the last thirty years and it continues to grow as time passes. In my classes, I share my skills, my food and my recipes to help students create delicious and beautiful food and learn the skills needed to recreate those dishes themselves at home. My classes are fun, informative and hands on. I also provide experiences as a personal chef. Clients can choose experiences like “A New Orleans Brunch” or “Italian Traditions” for 2 to 12 guests, prepared in their homes or venues of their choosing. Finally, FOODFROMDOUG offers a menu of fully cooked, delicious and beautiful appetizers, main courses and desserts, delivered (through Shef.com) and available for pick up. Prior to my employment at Beach Blanket Babylon I was co-owner of a bar here in San Francisco and partners in a catering endeavor. Currently I run a successful AIRBNB business in my home. I have been awarded the Five Star Superhost badge for the last four consecutive quarters.
