About Me

"Still in this world are the jealously guarded traditions from earlier centuries, when character and uniqueness mattered more than time."Food is my passion; I travel the world experiencing the cuisine that life throws at me. I've lived throughout the Asias, the Americas and Europe. In Asia, food was about nourishment and survival. My time in Milan, Italy gave me a new outlook on how special and complex each ingredient can be. I learned the care and detail that goes in to a simple stuffed pasta dish. From handcrafting a pasta dough, to selecting the filling for a delicate tortellini, to the perfect pairing of sauce.The Americas widen my appreciation of ingredients and my understanding of techniques. Cebiche, Causa, Anticuchos, and Cau Cau of Lima, Peru. Escabeche, hudut, conch, and cowfoot soup of Belize. Tamales Chile Colorado, Carne Asada, Chivichangas of Sonora, Mexico.“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle — When the sun comes up, you'd better be running.” real editor best profile tools .

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Leonardo da Vinci. His painting of the Last Supper for his patron Duke Sforza. Leonardo worked for Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan for nearly eighteen years (1482-99). His work on the defenses of the Castle Sforza is quite impressive. Some people would try to make you believe he was motivated not only by the religious theme of the painting but also by the wishes and desires of his patron who compensated him financially for his work. But I find it credible that he might want some sort of compensation for his last 18 years of work, I know I would! Which Food Network Character are you?
