I am a classically trained musician born and raised in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada that has a passion for food! Everday Noms came from an idea of sharing recipes and ideas from an everyday home cook to other home cooks.

My love of food definitely did not start when I was young. I was probably the pickiest eater on the planet (sorry Mom and Dad). But as I got a little bit older and my taste buds developed, I realized I did enjoy food. I was just picky! During my time living in Indiana doing my graduate studies in music, I really started to experiment and learn how to cook. I started to really enjoy it and hosting dinner parties and cooking for others has become a regular occurrence at home.

I’m just an average person that enjoys food. I love finding new hidden gems in Halifax, Canada and while I am traveling. I enjoy cooking for my friends and family. When I’m not cooking, I am usually thinking about what to eat next, practicing, watching cooking shows, playing the Pokemon Trading Card Game, bothering our cat, or pestering my wife asking her what she wants to eat for the next 3 meals.

The Daily Nom focuses on maximizing value without ever compromising flavour or nutrition. As a classically trained musician, I focus on fundamentals and practicing to produce the best performance I can. Cooking is no different for me! I hope you enjoy your time here with me and happy cooking!
