For me, cooking is...

A passion, a career, my life. An expression of self and my connection and communication with people and the Earth.

I learned to cook at...

Started dishwashing/prepping at 15, fell in love with the craft and pursued my career from there. Degree in Culinary Arts at MCCC

A cooking secret...

No secrets, just an understanding of the ingredients and their foodways. Each and every time you cook an ingredient it changes. Its all about feeling.
