Get to know me better

My philosophy is eating with big flavors gives the chance to savor every bite.

My love for cooking comes from childhood. I would watch my grandmother growing up as she made these amazing dishes for family events. I just had a natural love for fine ingredients. I started studying ingredients in my adolescences and this helped me to develop my own style of cooking giving me full creativity in the kitchen. I loved cooking with fresh ingredients. So learning where these ingredients came from and what they do for the body was very important for me. I am versatile in my cooking. I cook anything from meat to plant based. I enjoy for the food to look good and taste good. Flavor is what I’m all about. Spice is so important for flavor. I have a great balance of flavors in any of my dishes. I have catered and done personal chef work for any clients as well as events. I love seeing people celebrate with food. A meal to me is the best binder of people.
