Refined French sensibility, hospitality, and timeless joie de vivre.

Hospitality-minded with a drive to create beautiful content and experiences in the realm of intimate dining and the arts of the table. With a background in media production and the fine arts, Brooke is also a French-trained chef able to produce, style and lead creative projects centered around food to encapsulate a timeless joie de vivre.

Born & raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Brooke began a fine arts education at the age of 6 with drawing and painting classes at the Art Academy in St. Paul, continuing through primary and secondary education, culminating with studying at the Atelier Studio Program of Fine Arts in Minneapolis. Branching into the media arts in college, Brooke began to work in set dressing, props & styling for film & television. In between project work, she developed her love of cooking and taught herself how to bake, eventually opening a bakery and restaurant with her sister, The Copper Hen, in 2014.

Through this experience, Brooke began working as a private chef in the Twin Cities and launched a boutique catering company, Quince Hospitality in 2016, which specializes in beautiful full-service dining events and catering.

After completing an intensive culinary degree at the Institut Paul Bocuse in Écully, France, Brooke is currently producing fine dining events and pop-up dinners in transportive spaces across Minneapolis and beyond.
