My mother and aunts have been my major influencers throughout my culinary adventures, which began in childhood. As an annoyingly overhelpful child, I always lent a hand in the kitchen. My mother, in particular, took great pleasure in preparing hearty meals for her loved ones. She passed on her hospitality, warmth, and nurturing nature to me, and I hope to pass it on to my daughter as well. Having lived in various places, I have drawn inspiration from diverse influences.
