Professional Profile:
Culinary artist who creates good memories from great food. Creating great food is more than just preparations. It takes talent, time and passion to achieve the perfect meal. No matter what you taste, I can create masterpiece. My work is much like an artist that begins with a blank canvas; very soon it is filled with many colors that blend to make one picture. My canvas is the plate, the brush is my hand, my meals are a work of art.
