What stands out the most is cooking meals that are inexpensive but full of flavor and style. I call it simplicity. What makes me different from other chefs is that I personally connect with my followers.

We discuss what we would like to cook then I provide a grocery list along with the time and date we will cook. I go Facebook live and my followers watch and cook along with me.
