• The currency of food

  The meal can be elaborate, with everything thought of and in its place at the right time.  More often, the beauty of the well prepared meal lies in the art of simplicity.  Each flavor and texture speaks to the palate.  The aroma, sight, touch, taste and sizzle come together in a harmonious symphony where every note and instrument is distinct. 

  Every living being has an intimate and nurturing relationship with food.  Discovering the nuances and subtleties of this relationship is one of life’s great passions.  In itself, food becomes a tool of communication through creative expression and sharing.  Over the centuries, food preparation evolved from a basic necessity to become the heart of every household.  Through globalization and economic development, the general focus of food preparation has moved to the public forum of restaurants and professional chefs.  Previously food itself was a currency, now it takes money to have food.  This has changed the selfless dynamic of a simple culinary exchange.  My culinary journey has been centered around rekindling this almost transcendent experience and sharing it with whoever I come in contact with.  Food is beyond politics, above hate and certainly an instrument of awareness in life.  Welcome to my world.
