Cooking, baking, traveling

I began, in my late grandmother's kitchen, watching her create an abundance of scrumptious dishes in her confined space. I then learned a great deal of skills while working at Wegmans for two years. I have an eye for detail and how to appealingly present food. I cook and bake foods from around the world for family and friends. I enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures. I have traveled in the USA, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and Cambodia. I have lived as an expat from June 2015-October 2021 in two cities in China and one city in Vietnam.
