Jeremy Glover, Executive Chef
Jeremy developed his craft by attending the oldest culinary arts program in New England at White Mountains Community College and working in restaurants in New England (Pesce Blue, Cava, and Demeters) and the West Coast (Seattle’s Café Campagne). Jeremy has been fortunate to work with chefs who have inspired and nurtured his own culinary interests. He is particularly fond of whole animal butchery and enjoys using local product as often as possible.
Tuscan Kitchen - Portsmouth
David Crinieri, Executive Chef
David’s love for cooking was inspired by his grandfather, who recruited a five-year-old David to help cook for big family Italian dinners every week. After moving to New Hampshire in his teens, David went through the rite of passage almost every chef endures early in his or her kitchen careers – working as a dishwasher. Moving through the ranks quickly, David is now the Executive Chef at Tuscan Kitchen in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He is still trying to perfect his grandfather’s sauce recipe that he made as a child – though he admits that Tuscan Kitchen’s sauce comes in at a very close second.
