CURRENT MISSION

to taste the world

ABOUT ME

i've always been passionate about food and five years ago i decided to pursue it professionally. i moved to san francisco at 18, went to cuinary school and got my first real kitchen job. i like to cook how i like to eat: simply and slowly. using local, seasonal ingredients with classic and modern technique to create simple approachable food. i just got back from a trip to europe to expand my culinary knowledge and feed my soul.

PHILOSOPHY

its always better to regret doing something than to regret having never done it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
