For me, cooking is...

Limitless. Every meal is a chance to create something special & bring people together through the joy of great food and great company.

at home with my grandmother, Isolina. A native of Havana, Cuba she turned every meal into a celebration - rich in flavor, love and tradition.

A cooking secret...

is preparation. Quality prep keeps me calm, focused and allows me to give each dish the attention it deserves.
