With over 30 years of culinary experience, I come from a proud family of executive chefs with deep Italian and Sicilian roots. Raised in a family that owned and operated restaurants throughout the
East Coast, I developed a passion for exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and culinary excellence from an early age.

Throughout my career, I’ve owned and led restaurants and catering operations while building a reputation for creativity, consistency, and impeccable execution. For nearly 20 years in the Bay
Area, I’ve consulted on menu development for restaurants and high-end grocery retailers, helping create distinctive culinary concepts that combine timeless techniques with modern trends.

My passion for food has taken me around the world, where I continue to discover regional flavors, emerging culinary trends, and new sources of inspiration. Those experiences are reflected in every
menu I create, blending tradition with innovation while remaining focused on quality and thoughtful presentation.

Together with Mariam, whose exceptional talent for food styling and presentation transforms every event, we create beautifully curated culinary experiences where every detail—from the menu to the
final display—is carefully considered. While our signature offerings reflect our culinary philosophy, we also create custom menus designed around each client’s vision, style, and occasion.

At The Gourmet Grazing Goat, our goal is simple: to create memorable experiences through exceptional food, elegant presentation, and a level of service that reflects decades of professional culinary expertise.

Hi, I’m Mariam, the owner and creative heart behind my charcuterie and Gourmet Grazing Goat.

I’ve always had an eye for fashion, styling, and beautiful design. I love hosting and entertaining, creating spaces where people can gather, celebrate, and make lasting memories. Whether it’s
choosing the perfect flowers, styling a tablescape, or designing a grazing table, I pour my heart into every detail because I believe beauty is found in the little things.

Every grazing table and charcuterie board I create is completely unique. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter designs. Each one is inspired by my client’s vision, the style of the event, and the
creativity that naturally flows through me. No two tables are ever the same because every celebration deserves something as special as the people it’s created for.
For me, this isn’t just about serving food—it’s about creating an experience. It’s the excitement of seeing a room come together, the joy on my clients’ faces, and watching guests gather around a
table that becomes the heart of the celebration.

I use fresh, high-quality ingredients and thoughtfully selected details to create displays that are both beautiful and delicious. Every event receives the same level of care, creativity, and attention,
whether it’s an intimate gathering, a wedding, or a large corporate celebration.

Creating beautiful moments isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. Every table is filled with creativity, intention, and love, and I am honored to be a part of life’s most meaningful celebrations.
