Culinary
My favorite style of cooking is classic French cuisine, an ideal foundation for exceptional private dining experiences. You need to understand how each ingredient works, even something as simple as a carrot. Without knowing the basic texture or flavor profile, cooking loses its meaning. It’s the difference between simply following a recipe and truly understanding it. Mastering the basics opens the door to creating memorable meals, whether you’re in Europe, France, Germany, or right here in the heart of Texas Hill Country. At HG Culinary, that depth of knowledge and passion comes through in every private dining experience we offer.
Consulting
“With decades of experience in the hospitality, I found effective ways to combine an intelligent kitchen and bar concept to match the rest of the operation. Whether it’s a luxury design hotel or a hospitality group with multiple businesses under one roof. Setting up the base in an efficient way is essential to be successful on the whole range and in the long run.”
Connecting
“Connecting people and placing the right person in the right spot is probably the most important part in creating a (kitchen) team. I have trained and connected so many talented and gifted people in my career and I am absolutely certain that this is where you make the difference. The difference between simply running a business and a passioned, limitless crew to win every fight. Let me help you to find the right fit your team.”
