Open Table Executive Chef/Owner April Hale has been catering in Boise since 2007, but her love of cooking started when she was 9 years old in her parent’s kitchen in Indiana. She started out with a Chemistry major in college (graduated with a BSBM with a Chemistry minor) and always envisioned her professional career in a lab. Little did she know her lab would turn out to be the kitchen! She spends
countless hours researching the latest trends in food and creating new recipes for both friends and clients alike. Presentation is equally as important as the flavor of her foods, so fresh and colorful ingredients are a must. April buys local and organic where possible, and prefers to cook with seasonal fruits and vegetables. She has lived all over the world, including Korea and Australia, but has found her home in Boise, Idaho.
