Other Infomation
Hello Sarah !!! Thank you for checking out my menu. I think I could make your special day full of awesome memories and so much fun! Hi I am chef Tiffani! I am the executive farm house chef for The Leichtag Foundation and I run my own private event business The Blooming Apron. Hope you enjoy the menu I have written. I choose it because it is fun, fresh, seasonal, healthy, farm to table and easy to make changes too. Vegan, vegetarian or any kind of preference is no problem at all. Modern American cuisine is actually a personal hobby of mine and Italian is just so delicious!! Modern American is very classy and fun to make especially with the ingredients we have available to us here in San Diego. My experience has led to being able to make any dietary changes that are needed, while still providing beautiful food with amazing flavor. You can contact me at anytime with any questions, comments or concerns. I am here for you. You can change the courses also if you would like. The possibilities are limitless.
