More about me

For me, cooking is...

“Ikigai” is an ancient Japanese philosophy, meaning to define one's “life purpose” or “raison d’être.”

I learned to cook at...

Miya originally honed her culinary skills by working alongside her grandparents at their Asian Bistro and as-well as her mother, who was a caterer.

A cooking secret...

Our approach to food is creating beautiful dishes, balancing robust flavors with delicate precision.
