Whether you are a food enthusiast, a novice or an experienced cook – you have come to the right place!

I believe...
…that food is the common thread that weaves our cultural existence. As a family, we come together around the dining table. At work, we bond over a shared meal. We celebrate our accomplishments and we commiserate our setbacks around food.
I have been incredibly lucky to experience some of the most amazing food, as I have lived and worked around the world. And I am grateful for the opportunity to share it with you.
Fresh
I use seasonal, locally available ingredients to recreate the family recipes that I grew up with.
Wholesome
My food is simple, healthy and tasty. My cooking methods aim to bring out the full flavor of the ingredients.
Elegant
We feast with our eyes, much before we taste with our taste buds. And so, I present my food to entice all your senses.
