My Culinary Journey
My passion for cooking began in childhood, watching my grandmother create magic in her kitchen with simple, fresh ingredients. That early inspiration set me on a path that would take me through various restaurants across Europe and the United States.
With over 8 years of culinary experience in different restaurant kitchens, I've had the opportunity to learn from experienced chefs and develop my skills in diverse culinary traditions. From classical French techniques in European establishments to bold American regional cuisine, each experience has shaped my approach to creating memorable dining experiences.
My culinary philosophy centers on combining proven techniques with fresh ideas, emphasizing quality meals using local Texas ingredients and healthy cooking methods. Each dish is crafted to create not just a meal, but a thoughtful balance of flavors and nutrients that nourish both body and soul.
As your personal chef, I work closely with you to understand your preferences, dietary requirements, and what you want from your dining experience. Whether it's an intimate dinner for two, a family celebration, or weekly meal preparation, I focus on creating dishes that meet your expectations and bring joy to your table.
