Hi there, I’m Dominique, a 32-year-old chef living in New York City. Every morning, I wake up to the sounds of my little one’s laughter and the comforting routine of preparing breakfast for my family my husband, our child, and my beloved mother, who’s become both my rock and my inspiration since my father passed away. As the only daughter left in our family, I feel a deep responsibility to carry on his memory whenever I step into the kitchen.
Some of my earliest memories are tied to my dad showing me how to knead dough on Sunday mornings. He would hum an old tune while I clumsily mixed flour and water, and those moments felt like magic. When he passed, I was heartbroken, but cooking became my way of staying close to him. I learned that the warmth of a simmering pot, the scent of spices, and the comfort of a shared meal can heal wounds you didn’t even know you had. Now, whenever I cook something that reminds me of him his favorite beef stew or a simple garlic bread I feel his presence guiding my hands.
Life in New York has been a whirlwind of flavors, cultures, and endless inspiration. By day, I juggle parenting, marriage, and running my own kitchen; by night, I experiment with recipes that fuse my childhood memories with the eclectic culinary scene of the city. I love teaching eager home cooks how to build a perfect vegetable stock just as much as I enjoy plating a refined dish for fellow chefs. Beginners often tell me they’re intimidated by knife skills or fear burning a sauce, but I remind them that every great chef was once a novice who had their fair share of flops. Embracing those kitchen “oops” moments is what truly sharpens your craft.
For me, cooking is more than technique it’s storytelling. When I prepare my husband’s favorite spaghetti carbonara, it’s my way of thanking him for his endless support. When I bake cookies with my child, it’s a lesson in patience, joy, and the beauty of simplicity. And when I host my mother for Sunday dinner, it’s my way of giving back the love and stability she’s given me all these years. In every chop, stir, and garnish, I honor the journey that made me who I am.
Whether you’re a home cook looking for weeknight inspiration, a food enthusiast craving new ideas, or a beginner with nothing but curiosity there’s something here for you. I believe the heart of cooking lies in connection: sharing a meal with someone you love, experimenting with ingredients you’ve never tried, and finding comfort in the kitchen’s cozy chaos.
