Reflections on food, leadership, entrepreneurship, reinvention - and anything else I’m thinking through at the time.

Some ideas arrive quickly. Others take their time. The topics change. The practice doesn’t.

If I’m building something, questioning something, or changing direction, you’ll find it here.

Reflecting on a bucket list moment

A few weeks ago I had one of those quiet moments where a small dream finally came true.

Seeing the Mona Lisa with my own eyes - up close - had been on my personal bucket list for many years. Standing there in the Louvre, I felt a deep sense of gratitude.

Life has taken me on quite a journey - from kitchens and adventures in Kathmandu many years ago, to moments like this in Paris. And it reminded me of something simple but powerful.

Dreams do matter.

No matter where we come from, if we set our hearts on something, stay patient, and keep moving forward, life sometimes brings us to places we once only imagined.

Paris was that place. Kathmandu will be again.

Because life has a beautiful way of rewarding those who keep walking towards their dreams.

🙏
