THE CHEF FOR BUSY FAMILIES!

Being the eldest daughter in a single mother’s household, I was taught to cook at a very young age. I would make meals for my siblings while my mother would work and slowly I developed a passion for it. As the years went on I decided to fully embark in a culinary journey. I attended the culinary program at Hudson County Community College in Jersey City, NJ. I was taught some very important lessons by great chefs who inspire me to this day. Culinary school doesnt just teach you how to properly poach an egg or how to prevent from burning pastry cream. It teaches you discipline, respect, patience and most importantly, attention to detail. After college, I worked for the famous Calandras Bakery in Newark NJ until I was offered a head pastry baker position in a boulangerie in Montclair known as Le French Dad. During covid, while everything shutdown - I started a small baking business selling baked goods to family and friends during birthdays, holidays etc. I was surprised to see how well it took off even when the world was quarantined! When everything went back to normal, I noticed families having a hard time eating healthy meals due to busy schedules. I remembered how helpful it was to have meals prepared for my mom when she got home from work and decided to start cooking for families who would find a little bit of peace of mind at least with their meals. My goal is to bring busy families together where they can share countless laughs, memories and conversations at the dinner table.
