When and what made
you become a chef?
My mother claims, that as a very small child, I didn't play with my toys, I was much more amused to play in the kitchen with pot & pans. Ultimately, my inspiration
to create wonderful experiences, & host my friends and family. In business my inspiration is to produce sellable dishes at a profit.
