I craft globally inspired, Escoffier-trained dining where every meal tells a story.

Lori Miranda

I turn seasonal ingredients into story-driven dining experiences

Image alt description

My love for cooking began in my grandmothers’ kitchens, where I learned that food is family, memory, and celebration. I refined that foundation at the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts in Boulder, Colorado, where I sharpened classical technique and a respect for craftsmanship.

With over 20 years of experience, I blend homegrown tradition with professional precision. I build menus around fresh, seasonal ingredients and dishes that tell a story—whether I’m creating an elegant Italian spread, a rustic Southern feast, or a fully custom dining experience tailored just for you.
