My Perspective

I'm grateful for having had a chance to travel to several fun destinations, and experienced food and culture and wonderful people across the world.  I learned a lot from these experiences, and I'm trying to put these into my style of cooking.  A wholly amateur chef with no aspirations to be professional, I enjoy cooking for myself and my family.  Each day is different, and my cooking largely depends on what looks good at the market that day!

Food is a restorative and I like to influence the nourishment to the human body and soul through my preparations, with carefully selected ingredients and intentional use of specific techniques.  The ingredients must be of the best quality, whether I'm cooking vegetarian, vegan, or otherwise.  Whether its the perfect leek or the perfect duck breast, I take care to treat the ingredients with respect and to bring out the best in them for my audience.

Love to Eat

Love to Cook

Experimenting with different flavor profiles, textures, colors, and mouth-feel is fun!  Cooking is an inspiration to try new things and explore new boundaries!

Cooking for different audiences with different techniques makes me happy, and gives me joy, which translates into great energy in the cooking and in the food, which, in turn, feeds my audience.
