Chef At Home In New York City
Get to know me better
Bringing comfort food to life with every bite - indulgent, soul-satisfying dishes that feel like home, elevated to perfection.
As a self-taught chef with deep Portuguese roots and an Angolan background, I bring a unique blend of flavors and cultural influences to every dish I create. My culinary journey has been shaped by years of learning from diverse chefs, traveling, and embracing the art of fusion. I specialize in soul food pop-up brunches, where I craft comfort dishes with a modern twist, and cater private dining experiences that showcase my Mediterranean focus. I believe in the power of food to connect people, celebrate heritage, and elevate comfort to its finest.
