More about me
For me, cooking is...
A way of bringing people together, a conversation starter, a way of expressing myself, and a reason to travel!
I learned to cook at...
A humble college at home, accidently kickstarted japanese cuisine under the wings of my father (who was a professional chef at that time)
A cooking secret...
Checking what is left in the chiller and trying to make the best dish out of it.
