My love for food and cooking started at a young age. I was born and raised in Berlin, Germany and remember helping my mom prep ingredients for dinner, my most vivid memory being that of shelling fresh peas. My mom always let me be very involved in the cooking process, and as a result, I quickly picked up which ingredients complement each other and eagerly experimented with different spices.

​

No matter how busy either of my parents were on any given day, dinner was family time. It was a time to share fantastic food, catch up, laugh and simply enjoy each other’s company. I cherish my family dinners to this day and I’m very certain they further cemented my love for food.

​

Today, I live in Brooklyn, NY with my boyfriend and adorable two cats. Cooking has become a very personal experience for me – not only do I love cooking for my friends and loved ones, but there truly is nothing better than cooking a meal with somebody very specific in mind and then seeing the genuine happiness on their face when they take the first bite.

​

In case you haven’t caught on yet, cooking is a fundamental part of my life. It has a calming and therapeutic effect on me – it truly is my happy place.

This blog has been a long time coming and I’m so excited you stopped by!
