Now in Algarve, Portugal
After completing my studies at a renowned cooking school in Vancouver, I won multiple cooking contests, which led me to receive many job offerings from all around Europe. I chose to follow my fate and enjoyed working across many European countries for the following 29 years of culinary excellence.
My journey took me through some of the most prestigious establishments in Europe and beyond – from luxurious hotels to award-winning star restaurants in Italy, France, Germany, South Africaand Switzerland. These experiences provided the perfect foundation for developing my unique cooking style – a simple yet sophisticated gourmet cuisine crafted from fresh, local ingredients that harmoniously blends the finest elements of various national culinary traditions. This distinctive approach is passionately seasoned by my unwavering enthusiasm for cooking and my insatiable curiosity for culinary discoveries.
My global culinary adventures across India, Australia and South Africa, along with the expertise gained from running my own successful restaurants in Frankfurt am Main, have profoundly influenced my personal cooking philosophy and techniques.
What truly inspires me is the opportunity to delight different tastes and palates, constantly creating innovative, personalized menus that perfectly align with the preferences and dietary needs of my guests. My cuisine celebrates the rich gastronomic heritage of each region while adding my own creative interpretation to every dish.
Food isn’t just nutrition. It means emotion, memories and security, belonging and joy, beauty and health. Such a significant part of life deserves our respect and especially fresh ingredients. Of course everything I make is prepared with fresh ingredients - from sauces and dressings to sweets.

See why TRX Suspension Training is the preferred choice for low impact strength training. TRX uses straps and your bodyweight to facilitate a total-body workout. Rather than going back to the same old machines and free weights at the gym, suspension training lets you hit every muscle group with a different range of motion, work multiple muscles and joints simultaneously, add variety to revitalize your workouts and avoid those dreaded training plateaus.
