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.

For me, cooking is...
A way to tell stories, celebrate culture, and bring people together.
I learned to cook at...
The heart of my own kitchen, through trial, error, and the wisdom of chefs I met along the way.
A cooking secret...
My secret in the kitchen is a blend of intuition, love, and a deep respect for the stories passed down from my heritage to guide me.
