The garden and the table are one practice.
Most chefs buy their produce. Dan grows it. Years in some of the most exacting kitchens in the world taught him that a dish is decided long before it reaches the stove: in the soil, in the variety chosen, in the hour it is picked.
Today he offers both halves of that work to private clients along the Nosara coast. He designs and builds gardens that feed a household, and he cooks dinners from what those gardens give.
Food Gardens
Design, installation and ongoing care of productive gardens, from the first site visit through irrigation to the weekly harvest.
About the gardensDiscovery Dinners
Private dinners, events and parties, cooked from what the garden is offering that week and served where you live.

Every project begins with a conversation and a visit. Dan quotes only once he has seen the site.
