Where My Story Meets Yours.

From a food truck in Washington, DC to fine dining in Tokyo, my path has always been about food, culture, and the stories they tell. Today, I bring that journey to life through hospitality consulting and editorial writing across continents.

Everybody Eats.

When all else fails in conversation, food is the easiest place to start—because everybody eats. Food connects us. From consulting in Edinburgh to celebrating chefs in Asia, I blend cultural insight with storytelling to craft meaningful dining experiences worldwide.

  • Not exactly — at least not professionally.

    I’m an avid home cook and a keen recipe developer. Professionally, I work with chefs on everything from menu development and kitchen operations to storytelling that captures the soul of a dish.

    However, if a chef needs help making 100+ Indian-style bento boxes at 4AM? I’ll be the first to roll up my sleeves and grab an apron.

    Just ask Tejas from Spice Lab Tokyo.

  • Yes!

    Quite a bit of my published work is done as a ghost writer for major hotel brands and large restaurant groups.

    I have had a few articles published under my name and am always looking for more opportunities to write about F&B and travel!

  • I’m currently based in New Delhi, India. Before this, I lived and worked in Tokyo, and before that, Washington, DC.

    Over the past 8 years, my consulting work has taken me across three continents. Some projects require me on-site, but much of the work happens virtually — from wherever in the world I happen to be.

    Of course, I’m always open to travel — especially when good food is involved.
