    Chef Heidi Blacker

    Chef Heidi was inspired to cook while working at the New England Culinary Institute in Vermont, where she was exposed to many foods she never heard of. While living in New York City, she started a small catering business specializing in high-end cocktail and dinner parties.


    Always on the hunt for new flavor profiles, her cooking style is healthy, international comfort food with all the right elements of seasonality, presentation, quality, portion size and balance of flavor and texture.
