Good day! Cooking and baking is my passion and fun to me; “love of food”. “Cook to live, live to Cook”, I say. I’m a baker-pastry Baker and ‘food’ Chef. American, French, Asian, South Western -North Western/ Food backgrounds. After 13 years of experience under great Chefs and Master chefs. I have created some amazing beer and Wine Menus. Homemade fresh pasta and classical & fine dining-desserts, Candy’s, Caramels and Chocolates, Cake decorating, Ice creams, Scratch pastries, Artisan breads, French, Italian & American Sourdough's, Cookies, Breakfast breads, Laminated dough's, Tasting Trios. Small bites or mind-blowing great combos that would make your inner fat kid's heart race.
Fusion of Flavors/ Herbs-spices into foods. I’m hip to gastronomy. I like Local caught or Wild crafted foods, making me a huge fan of scratch cooking/ Farm to table food. A working chef with hands in all aspects of the business. I'm a passionate cook- baker. I crave a creative action-packed crew to work with, one with the ability to do new and amazing things. I’m not just a baker but a great gourmet cook with plenty of sauté, prep, pantry, and catering Experience.
