Food has always been a passion of mine – one that goes far beyond just eating. I love cooking, experimenting with new recipes, and finding ways to bring ingredients together in creative, delicious ways. Unlike baking, where precision is key, cooking gives me the freedom to improvise, experiment with flavors, and adjust ingredients as I see fit. That’s one of the reasons I love it so much. There’s a sense of creativity in cooking that always excites me.
What really makes me happy is seeing others enjoy the meals I create. When people gather around the table, share food, and leave feeling satisfied, it’s an incredibly rewarding experience. It’s not just about the flavors; it’s about the joy that a good meal brings to everyone at the table.
And let’s not forget the drinks! A well-matched wine can take a meal to the next level, enhancing and complementing the flavors on the plate. But for me, food and drinks are so much more than just sustenance. They’re about connection.
Growing up between Africa and Europe exposed me to a world of flavors at a young age, and I think that’s where my deep appreciation for food began. I experienced different cuisines, spices, and traditions, all of which taught me that food has a way of bringing people and cultures together. Whether it’s a simple home-cooked meal or an elaborate dinner party, food creates moments of connection, conversation, and shared experiences.
That’s why I’m a foodie. I see food not just as something to eat, but as something that tells a story – whether it’s a new recipe I’m trying or a dish inspired by the flavors I grew up with. It’s the way we bond, celebrate, and experience life together.
