A Seat at the Table

Get to know the culinary creative behind Dinners With Will

Farm-to-Table Dinners

I host a number of five-course, farm-to-table dinners around Michigan every year. I work with local farmers and ranchers to bring the best of the season to your table. The atmosphere is set for friends, new and old.

Table Arrangements

Every week, I cover my house in flowers. In the summer, I pick them from my flower garden, and in the winter, I use dried flowers to supplement fresh ones from University Flower Shop. 

Shoulder Seasons

Everyone knows how to enjoy summer, but I have a particular focus on shoulder seasons—I love to explore the Huron River by canoe when the ice is just melting and the maple buds are swelling with spring goodness.

Keeping a Beautiful Kitchen

Keeping my space beautiful is an essential part of daily life that I learned while doing my cooking apprenticeship at Alice Waters' restaurant, Chez Panisse. Fruit is always overflowing in bowls, ripe for the picking.

Throwing Parties

I don't wait for an occasion to celebrate—I invent them. A Valentine's Day arts and crafts party? Sold. A Tuesday night pasta making dinner? All my friends will be there.
