More about me

For me, cooking is...

Being a Chef means you are in the "making people happy business". From wedding celebration to a cup of tea on a cold day, food is universal.

I learned to cook at...

At 15 I had my first job as a dishwasher/prep cook. I then spent the next 20 years around the world working for people who knew more than I did.

A cooking secret...

#1 Love what you do. #2 Love picky people: you always know exactly what they want. #3 Study and practice, practice, practice.
