About

My cooking journey started like many great stories do in the kitchen, fueled by curiosity, creativity, and a deep love for good food. I’ve always found comfort in cooking, and over the years, that passion grew into something much bigger. Eventually, I took a major leap and opened my own restaurant. Running a restaurant was intense, humbling, and incredibly fulfilling. It taught me not only how to perfect flavors, but how to connect with people through food.

After some time in the restaurant world, I felt the pull to share my recipes and love for cooking on a more personal level. That’s when I started my YouTube channel. In the beginning, I focused mostly on chicken wing recipes crispy, saucy, spicy, sweet you name it. I had no idea those videos would take off the way they did, but people really connected with them.

As my audience grew, so did my creativity. What started as a channel for chicken wing lovers turned into a space where I share a wide variety of recipes, from soulful comfort food to everyday meals and creative new dishes I whipped up in the kitchen. Today, this channel has grown into a community of over 290,000 subscribers, and I’m still blown away by the love and support.

This journey has shown me that food is more than just something we eat but a way to connect, to celebrate, and to share pieces of ourselves. I’m beyond grateful for everyone who’s come along for the ride, and I can’t wait to keep cooking with you.
