Get to know me better
Cooking with diligent passion to make dishes that are fresh, seasonal, creative, and meant to be shared
I am a cook with restaurant kitchen experience. I worked in a rustic New American-Italian kitchen specializing in handmade pasta. As a home cook I value seasonality as a framework for choosing ingredients and make a range of dishes inspired from all parts of worldly culinary history. I value seasonality, quality of ingredients, trust in the source inspiration, and having fun with an expression of creating something meant to be shared. At home I make homemade pasta dough, Vietnamese pho, Thai noodles and curry, salads, braised vegetables and proteins, soups, pizza from scratch, salsas, etc. I have cooked meals from scratch basically every day of the week for the past 5 years.
