💌 A Bit About Me
Cooking has been part of my life since I was a little girl helping in my grandmother’s kitchen. Over the years, that spark grew into a passion for experimenting, learning, and sharing what I love most — food that brings people together.
When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll likely find me browsing farmers’ markets, testing out cookie recipes, or sipping coffee while planning my next big dessert idea.
