The Saltonstall Foundation is excited to announce Mandy Beem-Miller as our new chef for the colony. You can read more about Mandy’s culinary background below. We are so happy to have you here at the Saltonstall Foundation. Welcome, Mandy!
Mandy Beem-Miller has been cooking for joy and wages since her first restaurant job in San Francisco 14 years ago. She has worked in award winning kitchens in Ithaca and California and studied culinary arts and food communications in Florence, Italy. Six years ago she opened a food truck and catering business called The Good Truck, a local favorite that serves high quality, local and seasonal “Ithaca-Mex” May through October. When she’s not cooking for work, Mandy loves to do cooking projects with her two daughters, Josie and Evelyn, and her partner Josh. Some of their favorite things to make are bread, cookies, and anything on the grill. She is thrilled to join the team and Saltonstall and thinks there is something extra special about this neck of the woods. Though she has lived and traveled many places, Mandy was born and raised in Ellis Hollow where she now lives with her own family.
