Dish Examples

Brazilian Shrimp

The first dish that I had when I moved to New York and knew no one and had no friends. The first person I met invited me to their house and prepared this dish for me. I have never forgotten the meal and how I was welcomed to a new city and treated like family.

Chocolates

I love the science of making chocolate. When I learned how to make chocolates and do them well, I really felt like an accomplished chef.

Mediterranean Couscous Salad

Mediterranean food is my favorite food of all time! I love how the meals prepared in that region always focus on togetherness by eating and fixing food together. The meals also use a lot of fresh ingredients prepared in such a way that the focus is always on making sure the character of each ingredient shines through without being overwhelmed by other ingredients.
