What’s Inside

Food Philosophy

This is a core belief for Fish, as he blurs the lines between medicine and culinary arts. Hailing from a family of chefs, he was always an artist and instigator of innovations. He was trained by renowned chefs and artists, carving a path all his own. Since the start of his own health journey, Fish has been navigating food through the lens of the plant-based, slow food movement. His creations and experiments have been a vehicle for growth-inspiring, intimate experiences.

He has designed a cuisine and ethos that incorporates 3 main pillars of study: Meditation, Expression and Healing; focusing on the relationships that Western cultures have developed with their food. **Meditation** is the act of simply observing the process of food making, cultivating a deeper mindfulness practice. As a way to innovate, **Expression** is the creative outlet to mold and master edible art. And **Healing** is the integrative study of holistic nutrition made simple, accessible and long lasting. Fish teaches a curriculum based on these principles with keen focus on one’s impact on the planet. This is a wide but powerful net cast in a pond of possibilities, capturing a rich, cumulative abundance in the art of cooking.

“Let food be thy medicine” - Hippocrates

“Fish’s culinary focus centers around plant-based cooking and preparing food with heartfelt intentions and playful experimentation. As no two people are the same, no two meals that he prepares are the same. Every single one is a unique piece of art.”
— Dan R., Chef & Restaurant Owner
