JTC was informed that you are a Chef. Can you describe the type cusine you create?
I am infatuated with Italian, Asian and Hispanic cuisine as far as cooking techniques I would say French cuisine is definitely used. I love the fact that I can please my guess by making them a special dish that involves and introduce each region to each other.
What are your specialties?
With the 5 years that I have been cooking, I have learned that I'm really great with fish and my sauces. Although I no longer eat red meat, it's something I can perfect as well.My aim and vision as a Chef is to continue to introduce the fashion and culinary industry's to each other,with that being said doing private events,dinners for those who have made a dent in the entertainment industry is what I desire.
