I am passionate about cooking - I have always been pursuing happiness through good food, fine wine, my dogs, and of course, with my family and friends!
Being raised in a home where good home cooking was shared with friends and family almost every other day, it was not difficult at all to embrace the concept of “you live to eat”.

- Slice very thinly the loin and add in a serving plate. Pour on top the sauce and serve with arugula salad and rice.
