More about me

For me, cooking is...

It is all I know. With Covid-19 I have tried other jobs but nothing compares to working in kitchens and interacting with guests.

I learned to cook at...

While going to school I worked at New Rivers restaurant in Providence. I could take what I learned in class that day and put it to practical use.

A cooking secret...

To look at my food from the customers point of view in a way they can understand it and appreciate it.
