For me, cooking is...

about sharing...food of course but more importantly moments and memories with those we are close with.

I learned to cook at...

restaurants in early 2000's Philly, as well as Charleston, SC. My style and culinary POV is my own, and I am not from any one chef's "cooking tree".

A cooking secret...

is well-seasoned food, and seamless meals.
