Get to know me better

The artificial color only touches my hair, not my food. I highlight the most vibrant, local, fresh ingredients alongside global supporting actors.

My food celebrates the harmony of traditional and modern techniques, seasonal local ingredients, and global flavors, driven by passion and integrity. I weave my playful style with classical methods. My food is adventurous yet intentional. I have a very diverse background, and you can taste it.

While I am well-known for my exquisite artisanal donuts when I lived on Maui, Hawaii, I am also a wildly talented Savory Chef. I won "Donut Showdown" on The Cooking Channel, and I was a fierce competitor on MasterChef Season 13 on FOX TV. In the real kitchen, however, is where I truly shine.

I am a traveler, and I cook with what is best where I plant myself.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

Play, disguised as work. Creativity is cultivated when I let my imagination guide me. Food is more delicious when I cook happily.

I learned to cook at...

Culinary Institute of America, for formal instructions. But I was the designated Cook for the family by the age of nine, cooking on live fire.

A cooking secret...

It's no secret - it's Balance. No course should ever be one-dimensional, whether sweet or savory.
