I’m a mom who could only hunt down her brood with the smell and taste of very good food. Art has kept me sane in the moments when being a mother and chef were anything but Art.
I give you my art, my mess and recipes that have survived the motherhood that often feels impossible. From my mother and hers to wherever these may go, every dish is a story to pen down and a canvas to Art all over
