what am i eating, again?
the other week i had the privilege of attending something called “secret dining”. my friend peter found out about it, and told me that it’s a sort of pre-fixe menu, cooked by a chef in his or her home (with wine pairings, bien sûr). obviously, i was in. i wanted to do something like this when i was in berlin, but i missed my opportunities. all i have to say is that it was...

i've been thinking lately
i’m embarking on a big experiment now, and it’s made me think a lot about not only where i stand now, but where i’m headed in the coming years. i can’t share what the experiment is right now, but i’m very excited to share it in the coming months with you all, as soon as it’s ready.
i’m feeling very empowered by not only my ability to make something...
