Get to know me better
Self-taught chef celebrating food as one of life’s greatest joys - balancing creativity and well-being with warmth, beauty, and care.
As a passionate self-taught chef, I believe food is one of life’s greatest joys, a way to connect, nourish, and care for others. I craft dishes blending comfort with well-being, creativity with nourishment, and beauty with warmth. Experienced in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Italian, Asian, and comfort foods, I can adjust to various diets - vegan, vegetarian, carnivore, gluten-free, and dairy-free. My goal is to create unforgettable culinary experiences that feel like home, full of love, care, and balance.

More about me
For me, cooking is...
about creating memories, bringing people together, and nourishing both the body and soul with every dish I prepare.
I learned to cook at...
through curiosity, experimenting with flavors and techniques, and developing my style in the kitchen through trial and error.
A cooking secret...
is all about balance - taking risks, experimenting while trusting my instincts, and respecting tradition while always seeking a fun, fresh twist.
