About Nick

I was just a kid, the eldest of four, when my real life in the kitchen began. My mom was nothing short of a superhero, juggling twins, a bustling household, and a never-ending to-do list. But even superheroes need a sidekick. That’s where I came in.

I chopped. I stirred. I peeled. I watched. Some days it was pure chaos, flour on the counter, dishes in the sink, someone yelling for a missing shoe, but every meal was a moment we shared. Messy? Absolutely. But also warm, comforting, and filled with love.

What I didn’t realize back then was that I was learning more than just how to make dinner. I was learning the unspoken language of food, how a pot of soup can whisper “I care,” how a slice of pie can say “You belong,” how a simple meal can feel like “Welcome home.”

Over time, cooking became my voice. I cooked for my siblings after school, for friends in college, and later for people I’d never met, who somehow became family through the magic of a good meal. It’s not just a skill anymore. It’s my passion, my way of connecting, my way of telling a story without saying a word.
