My passion for cooking started at an early age. I come from a family of talented cooks and started learning as soon as I could. After leaving school, I worked as a chef in the French Alps, cooking for large groups and honing my technical skills. I then moved to New York, where I expanded my pallet and developed an even deeper love for home cooking and recipe development. My goal is to help make healthy, delicious cooing accessible to everyone. I learned at an early age that nothing brings people together like food. It gives us space to celebrate, to indulge, to connect, and to comfort. My goal is to create delicious cuisine that accentuates the essence of simple, premium ingredients. The type of meals meant to shared!
