To don the chef’s whites is to step into a world of relentless passion and perpetual learning.

In the symphony of clanging pots and the rhythm of chopping knives, I find my beat, my voice, my culinary stride. With each destination, a new dish, a new insight, a rising chef, a photographer capturing light.

From the bustling streets of Bangkok to the vineyards of Bordeaux, my palate expands, and my lens captures the show. Each flavor tells a story, each picture tells a tale, a journey of discovery where passion prevails.

In the heat of the kitchen and the coolness of dawn, I feel empowered; a new chef is born. With every snapshot and every spice, I’m weaving my path, my artistic device.

The world is my oyster, the kitchen my stage. With each travel, I add a new page to the book of my life, with its savory script and photos that speak of the journey.

So here’s to the rise of a chef and a seer, empowered and bold, with nothing to fear. For in every dish and in every frame lies the heart of my travels, the essence of my name.

Being a chef means embracing the rhythm of the seasons, respecting the sanctity of ingredients, and understanding the delicate balance of tastes. It’s about the artistry of plating, the precision of timing, and the science of heat. A chef is an artist whose medium is food, and whose canvas is the plate before them. #chefs #cheflife #chefstyles #foodie #foods #gourmet

To be a chef is to live for the moment when the kitchen’s frenzy falls silent, and all that remains is the joy of a dish well-received—a silent nod, a smile, an empty plate returned. That is the chef’s reward, the chef’s purpose, the chef’s definition. #chefs #cheflife #chefstyle #foods #foodstyling #gourmet #gourmetfoods

But above all, being a chef is about connection—connecting with the earth that provides, with the hands that harvest, with the team that toils beside you, and with the guests who partake in your creations. It’s a role that demands humility, for every dish tells a story, every meal creates a memory, and every flavor leaves an imprint on the soul. see more at Chefs Approval

Remember Montana …

When in Montana, take the opportunity to do a photo shoot. It has been some time since I’ve been behind the lens for any kind of editorial photo shoot. I recently had the chance to do a photo shoot and also cook. Model Niki joined the shoot and enjoyed a warm and hearty chowder made with skibobs, potatoes, chicken, and veggies cooked over a fire pit in the woods. This dish is perfect for cold nights camping or cozy gatherings. We also fried fish and garnished it. #model #modeling #modelshoot #modelsearch #tallgirl #tallgirlfashion #photochallenge #photographychallenge #photography #photographer #photographerlife #photographersofinstagram #chef #cheflife #chefsofinstagram #cookout #cheflifestyle #CulinaryExcellence #culinary #CulinaryDelights #culinaryarts #artlife #artist #artistsoninstagram #artistic #artistsoftiktok

I was a little scared doing this photo shoot (we was pretty far up in the mountains lol) But Niki is fierce and has no fear of striking a pose. and we have always have good conversations which helps me keep focused and calm. the photoshoot went well. #photoshoot

LOL) either way it happened at the Licensing Expo today! I am pretty stoked about it!
