Get to know me better
Canadian Take on European Cousine. Fusion with Love and Fun.
After completing my studies at a renowned cooking school in Vancouver, I won multiple cooking contests, which led to job offers from across Europe. I chose to follow my passion, enjoying over 27 years of working in various European countries. I gained experience and inspiration in some of the renowned hotels and Michelin-starred kitchens in Italy, France, Germany, England, and Switzerland. My experiences from India, Australia, South Africa, and my two of my own restaurants in Frankfurt, Germany, have also significantly influenced my personal cooking.
This allowed me to develop my unique cooking style: "simple gourmet cuisine."
The secret to true gourmet cuisine isn't found in Michelin stars, meticulously decorated tiny portions, or designer cutlery. The real secret lies in fresh ingredients, a combination of various national cuisines, all richly seasoned with my passion for cooking and my curiosity for new discoveries.
What I love most is catering to the diverse palates of my customers and constantly creating new menus that meet their preferences and needs.
