Wherever you are, whether it is cold or warm, I hope you’ll have a wonderful day with your loved ones!

My grandma passed away this Wednesday. It was peaceful, I was told, and I am grateful for that. I haven’t seen her for almost a year and this makes it harder to process. Being far away from home makes pretending that “nothing had happen” so easy. I just spoke with her few […]
You’re probably getting ready for an amazing night with friends and family, or maybe you’re more like me this year, and celebrate in the comfort of your home. Or maybe you don’t care at all 🙂 – regardless – HAPPY 2014 everyone!

Perhaps some of you heard about this amazing class offered by Harvard. I will mention few things that make this class unique opportunity to learn from the best about something we all do and love (or just do, that’s fine too!). This class includes lectures from the top chefs that reveal their secrets and share […]
