I’m Alana Courtois, a devoted chef whose passion lies in creating dishes that embody the ephemeral beauty and flavors of life itself.
My journey into the culinary world began in the warm glow of my childhood kitchen, where I watched my mother craft meals with love and care every evening.
By the age of five, I was already shaping play-doh into imaginative creations and decorating Christmas cookies with joy, and by twelve, I had progressed to hosting unsupervised picnics, complete with elaborate charcuterie boards that delighted my friends and family.
These early experiences ignited a lifelong love for food and its power to bring people together.


With meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to excellence, I craft culinary experiences that inspire, delight, and enrich the lives of those who savor them.
“Cooking is an art, but all art requires knowing something about the techniques and materials.”
— Nathan Myhrvold
