About Us

Renee Cornett, Chef/Owner grew up in Maryland and was commissioned as an Ensign in the US Navy in 1990 upon graduation from the US Naval Academy with a BS in Mathematics.  She completed flight training in 1993 earning her designation as a Naval Aviator.  She flew the H-46 helicopter in HC-5 based in Guam and deployed to numerous locations in the Pacific.  She served in various squadrons and  staff positions through her 11+ years of service concluding with an honorable discharge in 2001.  After several tours as a military spouse, she graduated with an Associates Degree in Culinary Arts with Honors from Metropolitan Community College, Omaha NE in May 2008.  Most recently the family was stationed at the US Embassy in Tirana, Albania. The many travel experiences throughout the world have allowed her to experience flavors and ingredients in their native environment – from fresh mangoes in the groves of  Indonesia to Ono grilled and served pier side in Guam, and young wines out of the cask in Tuscany.  These opportunities reinforced her appreciation for the terroir of ingredients and culminated in a month-long stage at a restaurant in northern Italy.
