MIREPOIX

We're a family rooted in the heart of Michigan, somewhere between the bustle of the southeast and the quieter stretches of mid-Michigan. Food has always been at the center of our story. Chris has spent 30 years in the culinary industry and counting, crafting dishes with precision and passion. Ashley has been a stay-at-home mom since 2019 building a home full of warmth, comfort, and recipes that bring people together.

Together, we balance the professional world of fine dining with the everyday beauty of family cooking. Our two boys keep life joyful, busy, and full of laughter, often finding their way into the kitchen to taste, stir, or simply watch. For us, this cookbook is about blending decades of culinary training with the kind of recipes a family actually makes at home practical, approachable, and made to share around the table.

We hope this brings your family to the table, just like it does for us.
