Megan Recker – Private Chef
Heather Ciprani is a private chef, herbalist, and holistic nutritionist who creates elevated cuisine rooted in real nourishment. She cooks from scratch, infusing every dish with herbs, local produce, and bold pairings that never sacrifice flavor. Her food is simple and beautiful with depth—where every ingredient has a purpose and every bite feels good in your body.
Working with organic, pastured, and wild-caught ingredients from the Willamette Valley, Heather brings a prep-heavy, finish-light approach to every meal. She doesn’t just feed people—she tends to them, using herbs the way most chefs use salt: liberally and with reverence. Inspired by chefs like Josh McFadden, Gregory Gourdet, and Naomi Pomeroy, her menus blend simplicity with seasonal flavors that surprise and satisfy
Heather’s Italian roots often peek through in her desserts, and everything she serves is designed to digest well and leave you nourished, not needing a nap.
