A Note from Astred  

Food is my way of growth; constantly evolving and learning from each

recipe I make. From the time I started the Culinary Arts program at

Indian Hills Community College, to my time cooking in Italy and

France, to the time spent learning about herbs, each property an herb

has in relation to your body and how to heal your body with food to

starting my garden chocked full of fresh, organic delight, each

experience has brought further growth and knowledge about food that I

apply into each dish I make.

It is very important to me that food brings people together. I spend

every moment I have learning about how to satisfy every belly I could

encounter in the most sustainable means I can, whether I am serving a

carnivore, a vegan, a paleo, a gluten-free foodie, or someone who has

a specific allergy. This constant curiosity drives me to never settle

with "the same old pub food", but expand myself and create food that

has nostalgic resonance for everyone while supporting local farmers,

organic produce and a sustainable future.
