Theresa Chamberlin
Theresa is originally from Boston, MA and began working in hospitality at the age of 13. Her first kitchen job was at a neighborhood café, and she never looked back. After earning degrees from Cornell School of Hotel Administration and the Culinary Institute of America, Theresa has worked at a number of restaurants as a server, bartender, manager, and cook. She spent 9 months at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland, where she learned the importance of slow food cooking. Most recently she has been honing her skills with Outstanding in the Field, traveling around the country and producing farm dinners with local artisans and chefs. Theresa loves to recreate dishes she has experienced at restaurants, particularly Mediterranean influenced recipes. We are delighted to have her join our Alta Chalets team and are looking forward to seeing her on the mountain and in the kitchen this winter.
