For me, cooking is...

Food is love made visible! Expressed through nourishment, connection, and heritage. Every dish brings people together - it nourishes the body & heart.

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook at the age of 5 in my grandmother's kitchen. My mother is a professional baker, and I have 3 sister. I learned from the best! :)

A cooking secret...

The herbs and spices that I use. All of my sauces and blend are from old recipes that are all made from scratch.
