Saratoga Springs’ chef Gary Alinder is a 25-year veteran chef who delivers creative, high quality cuisine. His initial training came in a small restaurant in Osaka, Japan followed by six years working in French and natural foods restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

In the Bay Area, Gary has been a private chef and caterer specializing in cookery for weddings, special events and groups on retreat.

The Seasonal Menus that Gary has designed for our retreat groups include California comfort cuisine and a wide variety of ethnic and vegetarian cuisines using seasonal, fresh ingredients cooked from scratch. Whenever possible he uses vegetables and herbs grown in Saratoga Springs own garden.
