I have been contacted recently to be part of the jury for various Food Shows. I declined all of them. Reason is : Evan if acknowledge the food education these shows are bringing to the public, I am not sure competition is the answer. Judging, Criticizing, Shaming. Mmh. I pass.

My absolute comfort food in the Universe is soup. Not like French soup but more like either Pho or Ramen inspired soups. Tonight after hearing France is going back in Lockdown, I made a double one 😅

I never went hunting, but I want to someday. Not that I would "love" to, but as a cook, I feel like I have to or I should just go vegetarian. This way I would be true to myself. I've always been very uncomfortable with how we just buy meat in the first place. You ?

Today is my 36th Birthday 📸 !! I was supposed to get cake but I went for a bottle of red wine instead. Classic mistake, I know. Thing is, the label translates to "Free as a Bird" and I couldn't just walk by... I've always been living by my own rules …

I was double checking the editing of the next episode in my Pasta Series. Made me smile for sure, but it also brought tears to my eyes. I don't know if that's because of the story, the music, or the crazy amount of work that goes into making these videos, but it did.
