Chef Cristina first discovered her culinary aspirations while working for her mother’s personal chef business at age 14. Her passion and drive for cooking then led her to complete a culinary degree at Johnson and Wales University in Rhode Island, and to further obtain a Culinary AS and Food Service Management BS with a Sommelier minor. Her style is inspired by the renown chefs she worked for in Providence RI, as well as her travels in Europe and Thailand. After running a few restaurants in Fairfield County, Chef Cristina came to Hudson Table to bring modern techniques, a focus on elevated plating, and beautiful food and wine pairings. You will find her teaching our hands-on classes and competing and hosting our chef competitions, as well as teaching kids camps and programs; introducing the younger generations to the industry with plenty of enthusiasm and creativity!
