Without a doubt, food is the catalyst that brings people together. There is no better way to learn from each other than when seated around a kitchen table, partaking and learning through food. I invite you on a journey to discover this vast and ever- evolving culinary landscape of ours.
Food has always been my passion. To me, food is more than just about eating, it is all about origins, history, culture, peoples, civilizations, tastes, and possibilities. Wars have been waged over it, peoples have emigrated in their quest of it, civilizations have merged through it, and traditions have been built around it. For those of us lucky enough to have food to enjoy, to eat without passion is to have a dead palate.
I invite you to check regularly for postings on my cooking classes, articles, recipes, public appearances, restaurant, and cookbook reviews.
Let's discover new foods together.
