Chef John was such an amazing host. We had a complication with our booking and Chef John helped us out and was able to work with us making our experience unforgettable. His cooking techniques and knowledge of Spanish food really set the tone for an experience we felt like brought us together even more. Highly recommend him! Great kitchen, great cook, fun times!

Chef John worked his way through the ranks of various restaurant kitchens before turning his focus toward America’s greatest food asset: its native plants. His emphasis for more than 10 years has been the ingredients indigenous to California. In his teachings, you’ll discover the history of the region’s edible vegetation and taste food in a whole new way, using ingredients foraged in Marin County.
