About Me

Food is love. It is how I communicate with others as part of the love language of acts of service. I make what is meaningful for those receiving it. Food is very sensual, activating all of our senses to cook, so it awakens and engages us fully. We must see, smell, touch and taste the food. I play music while cooking so my hearing is also part of the process. Food is also culture, history and art! And the best part is, when we are done making it, we can enjoy eating it!

Food is a necessary part of any gathering. No matter the occasion, happy or sad, we must eat to replenish ourselves. Serving food always brings people together, and represents our history, cultures, and family traditions. I have special dishes I make for the many members of my diverse family for all the different birthdays and holidays what we celebrate. Preserving the ethnic dishes of a group is to keep their culture alive and thriving!

The recipes I feature here are not hard but some are more time consuming than others. Take your time, step by step. Every new skill takes time to master. We must get over our own anxiety before we can become competent at something. Cooking and baking include science, skills, creativity and a touch of magic. When I cook I sometimes feel my ancestors guiding me. It can be a very intuitive process. See what magic you can make in your kitchen!
