Let us do the cooking, so you can do the entertaining...

My love for the kitchen began at a very young age. Some of my fondest childhood memories were made in our family kitchen, especially when my brother and I competed over who could make the most flavorful noodle soup or who could handle the heat of a chili pepper the best. During summer breaks, my sister and I would whip up some edible (and not-so-edible) lunches while our parents were at work. We learned fast, mostly through trial and error, and honestly, how we didn’t burn the house down is still a mystery to me.

My dad was the one who cooked most of our family dinners. My mom cooked on weekends when she felt like it—she was my dad’s queen, and she wore that crown well. No matter who was in the kitchen, you could always find me right there, willingly playing the role of sous chef. I soaked up every lesson, learning to cook not with measurements, but by taste and intuition. Developing a palate that could recognize the flavors and aromas each ingredient brought to a dish.

Over time, my family and friends came to know this passion of mine and encouraged me to share it beyond my home. So here we are: un pedacito de mí (a little piece of me) made in my kitchen and brought to your table. I hope these dishes help create memories, spark joy, and bring your loved ones together.

Thank you for allowing -cito to share what food has always meant to me.
