My Culinary Journey: From Tiny Chef to Kitchen Alchemist

At 7 years old, I declared myself “Head Chef” of my family’s Sunday pancake battles. Fast-forward to today, and I’m orchestrating chaos in a bustling, renowned kitchen. But here’s the secret: my real education happened far beyond culinary school. It happened in the alleyways of Hanoi, where I learned the art of pho from a street vendor with a golden ladle. In the olive groves of Greece, where an yiayia taught me to coax magic from lemons and oregano. And yes, even in my mom’s cramped kitchen, where “experimental” cookies sometimes became charcoal briquettes

Travel: My Spice Cabinet for the Soul 🌍

I don’t just collect passport stamps—I collect flavors. This blog is where I unpack them:

Bold, Travel-Inspired Recipes: Think Spanish paella with a California citrus twist, or Thai curry reimagined with farmers’ market veggies.
Stories from the Road: Like the time I bartered for saffron in Morocco using my grandma’s cookie recipe (true story).
Global Pantry Hacks: How to keep your cooking exciting using local ingredients.
