Me Sitting by Cactus

A little bit about me…

Growing up, I have many fond memories of time in the kitchen. From hiding under the table and sneaking butter, to trying out wild concoctions with my family, the kitchen became a place to create both memories and masterpieces!

I especially cherish the memories of baking with my mother, who always encouraged me to get creative. My mother has since passed on, but that passion she helped to foster stays with me still, as I continue to try and discover new ways to bring that kitchen creativity to life.

Being raised in a suburb of a “foodie-city” like Detroit has also inspired me to think outside the box. Such a melting pot of different cultures, ideas, and wonderful people creates an environment that breeds creative thinking and a unique artistic flair that would be otherwise hard to define. Because of this, I’ve learned to adapt and invent, often erring towards the adventurous when combining flavors, ingredients, and textures. Taking classic, tried and true dishes and molding them into a unique and flavorful treat allows me to help people to find happiness with each bite.

I invite you to create your own masterful kitchen creations…and more importantly, your own heartfelt memories. Let’s dig in!
