Cooking is more than a profession for me—it’s a love language that reflects my heritage and the places I’ve called home. My culinary story begins on a dirt road in Romania, where the scent of fresh bread baking in wood-fired ovens and neighbors sharing meals shaped my childhood. From humble beginnings, I pursued my passion, earning a culinary degree from a prestigious school in France. There, I learned to balance tradition with innovation, refining my technique while remaining rooted in the simple yet profound flavors I grew up with. Today, I work with boutique hotels and inns, sharing my expertise to transform kitchens, menus, and guest experiences. My creations tell stories of my travels—from rural Romania to the heart of New York City and everywhere in between. Food, for me, is about bringing people together across time and cultures, sparking connections over a perfectly prepared meal. Share my passion for food. Together, let’s craft dishes that inspire memories and elevate your guests’ experiences.
