I was born and raised in Costa Mesa, California, by my mom and grandma — two incredible women who were not only amazing cooks and bakers but also the most gracious hostesses.

My grandma, Mary Lou, inspired my love for food and hospitality. LouLou is a tribute to her, as we share the same middle name — and the same joy in bringing people together around good food.

From camping trips where we’d cook over open fires to baking cookies and pies from scratch, I fell in love early with the art of food and the beauty of sharing it. That passion grew as I lived in Italy, studied at The Cheese School of San Francisco, and traveled across Europe exploring the world of cheese, wine, and culinary traditions.

Today, I specialize in food, wine, and cheese pairings, along with grazing tables, event coordination, and event styling — each created with care, creativity, and a touch of elegance.

After ten years on California’s Central Coast, I’m endlessly grateful to do what I love every day — bringing people together through delicious food, beautiful presentation, and heartfelt experiences.

As a proud ally and safe space for the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC community, everyone is welcome at my table.

Happiness is Cheese,
♡ LouLou
