More about me

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is more than a job or a skill—it's my language, my therapy, and my art. It's how I connect to people, cultures, and passion in everything I do

I learned to cook at...

Learned over 20 years watching, failing, and never giving up. Kitchens taught me grit, flavor, and love. Cooking became my passion, and my purpose.

A cooking secret...

My secret in the kitchen? Intuition, love, and hustle. I cook with my heart, trust my gut, and let every dish speak with bold flavor and soul.
