Flavors of the Sun - Callie Series
What I love capturing the most about the Callie kitchen is their culture of learning. Every guest chef that comes passes on a little something to the Callie crew. A new approach, technique, flavor, ingredient infused into their expanding culture with each dinner. That’s the beauty of what Travis has created, Callie is in constant evolution for each dish, team member and what the guest experiences.
Outstanding in the Field
Just little taste of the imagery we produced for Outstanding in the Field at Temecula Olive Oil Ranch with Chef Travis Swikard.
When stewards of the sea & land express mother nature's bounty in harmony, well magic happens. Food becomes more then calories on a plate when people gather in unity. Then food becomes a cultural panacea. People, place, and the raw potential of terra unite and heal us. Perhaps that's what I love most of about Outstanding in the Field , what the experience can insight in others through a singular meal.
Thank you to everyone who made this experience happen.

Pass the Knowledge Down
I embarked on teaching workshops to be of service in another form. I could do a million shoots with clients but I felt like it was time for change.
At first I thought…
Do I know enough to teach? Yes ten years of experience in the books.
Will this content be helpful? Feed back so far says YES.
After two workshops down. I was astonished how fast people grasped what I was teaching. The many questions that arose that I did not foresee but knew the answers too. And how great it felt to provide people with clarity within a craft that is very niche.
Long story short, if you have a passion that has turned into profession. Look for opportunities to pass your knowledge down. I have always loved being of services to others. Looking forward to many more workshops.
Be Well and Do Good
