FOOD

I cook global comfort food - big, bountiful meals made with fresh fruits and vegetables, prime meats, specialty spices, and hearty salads.

Each day we provide breakfast, a DIY lunch spread, appetizers, dinner, and dessert. Start the day with cowboy coffee, sip on lemonade after your hike, and finish the day with a hot mug of herbal tea.

I will choose a menu based on the dietary preferences of each group and the food safety constraints of cooking in the backcountry. If you're interested in a fully custom menu, or sourcing specialty ingredients, contact me.

Vegan? Celiac? Abstaining from nightshades or dairy? Fill out the Dietary Preferences form when you sign up for a trip. Dietary-friendly swaps are available for all meals - meat and dairy substitutes, gluten-free breads and wraps, and plenty of options for picky eaters.
