About this pro
I am a culinary gradute that combines the art of cooking with an unmistakable amount of fun and knowledge. I impress to my students that as long as you have an imagination, you will never run out of cooking ideas.
I really enjoy the teaching aspect of this industry. Opening one's mind to the art of cooking is so fulfilling, that mere words are not enough to express my passion and respect of this industry and I would love to teach the knowledge that was given to me to anyone who is interested in learning.
