We always find our way back to the table—whether it’s long nights filled with laughter over stories from the past, first-date recaps from new friends, or quiet evenings alone with our favorite show and a comforting bowl of soup. Food connects us—every day, across generations, and to the people we love.

I wrote this book as an homage to those who came before and to those I hold dear. Through its matte pages and hard cover, may it serve as a bridge between memories and moments, between tradition and today.

The design draws from a broad color palette inspired by vintage glassware and heirloom crystal, paired with a clean, minimal photography style to ground it in the present. This is my collection—welcome to the collective.
