Since I was a toddler, the preparation, sharing and teaching of our family meals was an everyday part of our home. Family and neighbors shared in the idea that food, no matter what, brings people together. Like art, words, and the precious outdoors, how we nourish each other is another expression of love and commitment to relationships. I’ve been in the relationship business since my first job tending my mom’s salon. I’ve been in the client service business across various global and entrepreneurial positions including the advertising agency world, blogger, author of several top-rated cookbooks and recipes and a self-made immigrant who simply loves to share flavors, ingredients and techniques that go beyond the everyday table. It’s what brings us all together. And one last thing: I am a gadget, tech geek who loves the innovation of cooking that satisfies my statistician soul. If I can do it better, faster and with greater success rate, I’m game and going for it. You will see that many of my recipes use Instant Pots and air fryers so that you can spend more time relaxing and less time cooking. That’s the long and short of it. Embrace change with gusto, and nourish yourself and your loved ones along the way.
