More about me
For me, cooking is...
A way to bring people together and open a whole new world, not just in tastes but in cultures and experiences.
I learned to cook at...
As a child in my parent's restaurant, while sharpening my craft in culinary school and everyday I've worked in a kitchen for the past 20+ years.
A cooking secret...
Treating food with respect and learning what it does, you don't force things in the kitchen, you manipulate them.
