What is your dream?
I envision a house where guests are welcomed without charge, and we come together to cook, share meals, and learn from one another in a collaborative and enriching environment. It would be a space where everyone contributes, and we all grow through our shared culinary experiences.
What are your current projects and what plans do you have for the coming year?
Beginning September 23, I’ll take on the role of Executive Pastry Chef with Dream International, managing the launch of two restaurants, a bar, and four meeting rooms at ICD Brookfield. I’m thrilled to embark on this exciting new experience.
