Chef at home Roux Mx

Foundation in Southern and soul cooking, credited by time in kitchens across Florida and beyond ranging from asian, Italian, french, mediterranean styles and concepts.

My approach is straightforward good ingredients, solid technique, and food that actually satisfies.

I’m open to custom meals with proper planning, but I focus on dishes that make sense, not overcomplicated menus.

If that works for you, reach out and let’s cook something worth eating.

For me, cooking is...

an abusive relationship.

I learned to cook at...

the playground in 4th grade making grass and dirt soup.

A cooking secret...

is crisco grease and texas toast
