Cooking has always been a passion of mine from a young age. I still remember the first toy cooking set my dad got me for a birthday present as a little girl. It was the best present I had received at that time, and I honestly was so obssessed with it that it was all I played with growing up. I still vividly remember plucking plants from a mango tree that used to be in our front yard to play “pretend cook” with my toy frying pan. Not going to lie, my pretend cook didn’t feel like pretend at that time, because I honestly legit thought I was a boss chef.

One time, I managed to actually ignite a fire (Don’t worry about how I actually did it, my chemical engineer brains were still somewhat growing at that time) and I actually ended up cooking the plants. And you probably guessed it.. It tasted like trash! Thank goodness I didn’t give up cooking after my first epic fail. 

So yeah… my love for cooking has been around for a long time, and my hope is that I can inspire you with my recipes and captivating photographs to sharpen your own cooking skills and create delicious meals.
