Ever since I can remember, food has played a huge role in my life and it is more of a way of living than a job. My love for great food started with my passion for eating good food, as my mom was a great cook! This blossomed into me wanting to learn how to cook and impress my friends. I have long stopped trying to impress my friends, instead I look forward to our gatherings as social events where we share each others company. Everyone pitches in and we mingle over wine, while putting together a summer BBQ, or an autumn slow cooking evening of braised short ribs. Whatever the occasion I always get excited thinking about the great food and wine that will be consumed!
