Autumn Walk in Napa Valley

This is the first time I am in a country during autumn! Autumn colour is everywhere! It makes a beautiful backdrop for photos and the roads are strewn with orange, red, brown and rust coloured leaves. As I walked on those leaves I could feel the ground crunch under my feet. I know that they will decompose and replenish the soil with nutrients. It was so beautiful to see the sunlight coming through the leave as it just heightens the yellow colour of some of the leaves and makes it glow. Napa Valley and Greystone are all about vineyards, apple, orange, persimmon and orange trees.

I am deeply passionate about experiencing food in all its forms—I love to see, touch, smell, hear, and feel the ingredients that create culinary magic. Each spice tells a story, every herb evokes a memory, and the textures of food bring joy to my senses. Traveling is not just a pastime for me; it is an essential part of my journey as a culinary educator. Exploring diverse cuisines around the world allows me to expand my knowledge and understanding of food, enriching both my cooking and teaching. I revel in discovering new flavors and techniques that I can share with others, igniting their own passion for cooking. This blog is a heartfelt expression of my love for food—a platform where I can share my culinary adventures, insights, and recipes.
