        "I don't want people to just say, "Ooo, this is delicious!"

        I want them to pass a forkful across the table and say,"You GOTTA try this!"

        -Chef Nordby

        Taste. Artistry. Conviviality.

      • About

        Chef Willi Nordby's work is rooted in the authentic organic expression of food from garden, pasture, forest and sea... and in the joy of a convivial dining atmosphere. Nordby is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone, and a Level One Sommelier. Most recently the Executive Chef at Picco and Pizzeria Picco in Larkspur, California, Nordby honed his style working in Napa for 10 years (Torc, La Toque, Oenotri, and Martini House). His childhood spent foraging, fishing and hunting the wilds of the Pacific Northwest influences his work to this day.

         

        Chef Nordby's offerings include:

        • Intimate, upscale private dining events
        • Open-fire outdoor banquets
        • Foraging and wild food adventures in California and the Pacific Northwest
        In collaboration with Goldfield Creative Events, foraging and dining adventures can be created and executed for any size party, indoors or out.
         
        Chef Nordby is also available for kitchen construction consultations for both private and commercial endeavors.
