Summary

I have devoted my Life to rediscovering and embodying the essence of my true self. I have dedicated myself to studying, practicing, and guiding others in exploring ancient and modern paths that facilitate self-realization. Among these paths, I've chosen the culinary arts as a medium. When I am cooking and serving others, I infuse every dish with my soul, my food is a compilation of my life journey of embodiment of health, joy and self realization. "Let Food be thy Medicine, and Medicine be thy Food'." Socrates.
