Design Director / Architect who loves to test / taste the limits in bringing better living to all. The process of creating an inspiring architectural design pairs well with the process of creating an element of suprise in a recipe. Buldings and Food..... Heart friendly, and no, I do not have a heart condition yet.... Love to go through traditional cook books of the old world and build upon the love in a new and interesting way. Creating a new, fresh experience. Mastery of latin cooking. Tried what I thought was a novel idea of pan searing a whole mackrel...turned into an oil fire in the center of my kitchen / home...large clouds of fishy black smoke. Haunted us for a week!!! A little older and wiser now, on the technical side of cooking....but still crazy in the kitchen...
