I’m a chef and recipe developer. I started this brand while in culinary school with a dream to always publish a cookbook. I wanted to write a book that was simple, different, beautiful, and included photography for every recipe (something I wish I had when growing up and learning to cook). 

Since then I’ve grown and learned so much as a chef, collecting many different types of experience in the industry and meeting some amazing people. All of this I use as inspiration.

From this I created the tempted series- a collection of cookbooks each with a unique theme. When I look at each of my cookbooks, I see a specific moment in time representing the style of chef I was at that stage of my life. It reminds me of where I began and to be proud of how far I’ve come.

Being able to incorporate my love for the environment, coffee, and design into my cookbooks and brand brings me joy. If I’m able to share just a little bit of my passion and creativity with you, then that’s enough for me.

Here’s to today and to all that’s still to come. I hope you enjoy, and as always, stay tempted.
