About me

fOR ME, COOKING IS CREATING.

IT'S TO PLAY AROUND WITH THE THINGS THAT ARE FAMILIAR AND THE THINGS THAT ARE YET TO BE DISCOVERD.

cOOKING IS TO BE CURIOUS, tO HAVE THE

EVER-GROWING HUNGER TO Learn SOMETHING MORE.

my story

I started off my career as a kitchen hand and as a bar back to gain knowledge on both sides of the industry. For me, it's important to understand all sides of the story. The more you learn, the more you can experiment around the unknown and then share that knowledge to the new generation of chefs and waiters.  

I value sustainability both in cooking and in working environment. I believe that by taking good care of the surroundings, whether it is for the ingredients or for the workers, one can create a recipe for a great success. 

When the environment is propitious, the quality increases and the overall experience will be more refined. 

I have a strong background in fine dining and especially on the cold kitchen side. I have experienced multiple different cuisines, in a variety of globally high ranked restaurants, and at the moment I am designing and executing the dining experience at Restaurant SOO in Rapla, Estonia. Restaurant SOO has been awarded with a Green Michelin Star (spring of 2024). 

 

My professional curiosity does not limit only to restaurants and catering events. I have performed in a Finnish national television, in the series called Snackmasters Suomi as one of the two main performers.
