Hi, I’m Chef Tim. I cook with the rhythm of the seasons.
Some weeks that means blistered citrus over wild greens, or grilled fish with fennel and fig. Other times, it’s a big pot of something comforting and slow, cooked over fire and shared with people I love.
Kaliforno Kitchen is where I bring that way of cooking to you. Meal plans, recipes, kitchen tips, and how to cook on a budget.
I’m a chef based in California, and this is how I live: close to the market, close to the flame, and close to the food that keeps us grounded and connected with those we love. Thanks for being here.
