Get to know me better

A curious amalgamation of childhood dreams

I began my culinary journey quite accidentally - I was a picky eater as a child and my fathers solution to that was to cook my own food if I wanted something other than what my mom made. Being a bit of a willful only child I accepted his challenge at 8-years-old. I would love to pretend as though I had immediate success however that surely wasn't the case, I failed over and over again, yet I eventually figured out how to navigate my way around the kitchen. What began as necessity to muster through dinners transmuted into an insatiable passion that's embedded itself into my life ever since.

Another pivot point of my life was venturing into learning how to source the cleanest ingredients, which inherently changed my lifestyle into a plant-based one. I will admit when I started there was seldom any options that impressed me, so I've dedicated the past six and a half years to creating ethical dishes that don't sacrifice flavors or sustenance.

I am willing to travel further for work.

Though I specialize in plant-based foods and specialty dietary requirememnts I do work with animal proteins as well.

Please give enough time for specialty ingredients to be delivered or imported if on the menu.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

not an option... it's what I need, it's my creative outlet, how I destress after a bad day, how I show my love to my family, how I spoil myself

I learned to cook at...

my childhood home from age six onwards with the pleasure of working under a chef de patisserie and completing specialty courses while living in Europe

A cooking secret...

to try whatever combinations that peak my curiosity - what may not seem to fit usually becomes a catalyst for uncovering my own unique flavor profiles
