Founder & Editor
I grew up in a house where rice was the heart of every meal—my dad’s Greek roots and my mom’s Filipino upbringing collided in a steaming pot of jasmine and basmati.

This site is where I test, tweak, and celebrate the endless possibilities of rice—because great food starts with a good foundation.
