I’m Billy, a classically trained culinary school graduate from The Culinary Institute of America with over 12 years in the restaurant industry and over 19 years of cooking experience.
I currently live in Wilson Blvd, Arlington in Washington and do most of my cooking in my private Studio, which is only about a mile from my house.
I’m married to an amazing woman who is gifted beyond belief as Photographer. In fact, I always tell her if she started a blog she’d do way better than I do over here on this page. I have 1 daughter who is full of energy and always keeps us on our toes.
If you have been following me for a short time, you know that I am all about using better ingredients to make better food.
I’ll be happy to let you enjoy your time here with us, I think you will love it as much as we do.
My Cooking journey
Everything changed when my parents bought me a Sony DSLR for Christmas. That’s when I discovered my true calling – food photography. My photos were pretty terrible at first, but I was determined to improve my skills and practice as much as I could.
I’ve always loved cooking and baking. As a child, I used to read my mom’s cookbooks for fun and bookmark recipes I wanted to make for my family. Food photography wasn’t easy, but it was incredibly rewarding. I took as many courses as I could and watched countless videos to figure it out on my own. Looking back, some of my early photos make me cringe, but we all have to start somewhere!
Even now, I’m constantly taking courses and learning new things. I firmly believe in being a lifelong learner – the journey never stops.
