I come from the aerospace industry, where I spent more than 25 years maintaining, repairing, and inspecting airplanes. But my true passion has always been food.

​

From a young age, I would stand in the kitchen watching my grandma and mother cook. Sometimes my grandma would bake her kueh or cakes, and I’d be fascinated. My very first recipe on my own was an egg salad sandwich, inspired by my aunt’s version, which remains my ultimate comfort food. That sandwich sparked a thought: “If I can make this, I can make something better.”

​

Before the days of the internet, I explored recipes through libraries and cookbooks. My very first was Peter Reinhart’s American Pie, which I still treasure. I fell in love with pizza while watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Michelangelo was my favorite), and that cookbook only deepened the obsession. Once I mastered pizza, I knew I could take on more, and that journey led me to sharing my humble recipes with you.

 

My mission is simple: to get more people cooking and baking at home while inspiring change in how we farm, cook, and eat. That’s why I live by this motto: Farm responsibly, cook ethically, and eat thoughtfully.

 

Join me on this journey.
