Chef Daniel Finger, new Chef Tourant for Harborview Hotel & Resort on Martha’s Vineyard

As the published co-author of Our Love Affairs with Food & Travel and Cooking Secrets, the Why and How… I was delighted to discover the culinary creativity of Danny, (Daniel Dye Finger).

Danny’s abilities are hard to describe…he’s extremely multidimensional. He can whip us all up to a 4-course international fusion meal (with European and Asian influences) in no time, with whatever ingredients he has on hand.

I have interviewed over 100 chefs from around the world for my books and articles. Danny has the one essential ingredient that sets him apart… PASSION.

Well, since I know her grandmother, mother, and father, why should this be a surprise (artists, writers, world travelers, and more)?

Dan’s mom, Marguerite Jill Dye, told me how much Dan loves to cook, and that’s exactly what it takes… LOVE… I know, because my daughter from Vermont, Robin, is a chef for the love of it. felt when he made his first grilled cheese sandwich at the age of 3.

Every bite Danny prepared, whether it was a simple, ripe, ruby ​​red local tomato topped with buffalo mozzarella…and a drizzle of EVO, or an elaborate feast of juicy, pink, fresh, seared duck breast, was prepared with ability. and passion

Danny is one of the leaders I plan to feature in our ongoing book, Our Business Continues…

Best of all, he combined the perfect wine with the unusual flavors of his innovative inventions.

It is important to note that Danny was educated in Switzerland, the culinary capital of many of the world’s top chefs. I was lucky enough to live in Switzerland and was longing for a new Swiss trained chef in our Sarasota area.
