Get to know me better

A lover of food and cooking, wanting nothing more than to bring the joy of food to others.

I've had a love of food since I was young. I have fond memories helping my mother with dinners, learning how to peel potatoes and make rice that was perfect for sushi. Asian and Hawai'ian food is the foundation of my love of food and cooking.

I took to the restaurant industry like a fish to water. I dove head first into learning the basics of culinary and have not gone a week without either reading or watching something about food. I currently work for an Italian restaurant after having spent 3 years in a vegan restaurant, and I have learned much more then what I could have from videos alone. It has driven me to learn about food sensitives and food restrictions, which I take rather seriously.

I am always happy to learn something new, whether it is techniques or cuisine; I will always be a student of cooking.

Note: if looking to book me for an event, please give me at least 2 weeks to work out a menu for you and for allowances with my job. Thank you!

More about me

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is an adventure. From discovering new recipes to finding the ingredients, and even to the first bite, it is an adventure.

I learned to cook at...

I learned from my parents and refined my skills at Pig Minds Brewing, with classes from Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts.

A cooking secret...

Enjoying the process. The planning, the gathering, cooking, etc.
