About
Helping people live a happier healthier lifestyle with food. I also love teaching people how to cook healthier for themselves. I like turning traditional recipes and giving them a healthier modern twist. I also like infusion food combining different ethnics to create my own recipes. I also love baking and making desserts.
I love meeting new people I enjoy getting to know them and what type of food meets their diet requirements and their health needs. Planning together and creating the perfect diet and meal for what they desire. I enjoy doing home cooked food for the family and gourmet dishes for parties and friends are intimate dinners. I also enjoy making buffet branches.
