He studied fine arts at the University of Melbourne and obtained a master's degree in graphic design. He spent more than 14 years abroad and returned to Taiwan to settle down in 2007. During my stay, I lived next to the Victoria Market for a long time. Because fresh ingredients were readily available, I also started to study cooking in depth. I participated in several short-term cooking training courses and learned some home cooking from a Sicilian Italian mother. Because I love making friends, I was fortunate to exchange food and culture with friends from all over the world, which also allowed me to taste and learn home cooking from many countries! In addition to traditional Taiwanese home cooking, I have a little experience in dishes from all over the world. I am like an Australian. I like to study recipes/spices at my own pace. I don’t like to follow the trend. I only cook the dishes I like!
