My weight-loss journey

How I decided to take control, learn more about nutrition, and make lasting changes.

hi, i’m denise!

I'm a Brooklyn-based cook and product designer, originally from East Los Angeles, California.

My passion for food led me to enroll in culinary school after being laid off. There, I honed essential cooking techniques, gained industry knowledge, and worked alongside talented chefs and mentors. A highlight of my journey was my time at Gem, a renowned restaurant in the Lower East Side, under the guidance of Chef Flynn McGarry.

Now, I'm excited to share my culinary skills and creations, showcasing recipes that incorporate techniques from culinary school and my experiences at Gem. Join me on this journey as I share my passion for cooking.
