Where Food Becomes a Story

Where Food Becomes a Story

Every dish carries a memory. Some remind you of where you came from, others of where you hope to go. The Journal is my way of tracing those memories - through flavors, people and places that shaped how I cook and how I think about food.


This space is exclusively about the stories behind various recipes. The forgotten classics, the quiet kitchens, the chefs who never stopped learning, and the meals that made us pause.
