About David Kinch
David Kinch is an American chef at the forefront of a new contemporary California cuisine. His pursuit for exceptional ingredients has inspired an exclusive partnership with biodynamic farm owner Cynthia Sandberg of Love Apple Farm, where all of the vegetables are grown for his critically acclaimed restaurant Manresa in Los Gatos. By producing his own fruits and vegetables, he is creating a closed loop between his guests, the garden and his highly personal haute cuisine, and setting a new benchmark for California cuisine in the 21st century. His philosophy is fostered by the terroir or "sense of place" of the California Coast, and the kind of ingredient-driven cooking and modern technique he studied in France, Spain, Germany, Japan, and the United States.
