Welcome to my Blog! Here you will find chronicles of my day to day life as a Chef. In it you will find pictures from my travels, read anecdotally about my dreams and aspirations, share my excitement on the discovery of a new (to me) recipe, tool or technique, as well as my trials and tribulations as a new entrepreneur, and anything else that strikes me as interesting, odd or just plain cool.

2022 Christmas Treats – Lebkuchen

2022 Christmas Treats – Whisky Maple Cookies

Oh I like this one, but keep it away from the kids (or not :) ). This is a quintessential adult cookie. The taste of whisky combined with maple syrup makes you feel like you are in a log cabin in the mountains, snow billowing outside, a roaring fire in the fireplace and a grown [...]

2022 Christmas Treats – Gingerbread Latte

Wait what!? A latte that doesn’t involve pumpkin pie spice – the horror! Just kidding, although I bake with the flavor of pumpkin pie spice, I really don’t want it near my coffee!
