Check it out below! A beautiful, heart-shaped cut-out of a smooth and creamy, homemade pineapple ice cream. The ice cream is served either on, or in between, a thin, crisp shortbread cookie, garnished with either caramelized or regular heart-shaped pineapple pieces.
 
Meet a colorful teriyaki stir-fry. Tender slices of steak marinated in a teriyaki sauce. Cooked to perfection before being tossed with an assortment of colorful steamed vegetables, to give the dish a rainbow appearance. This stir-fry is served on top of a small bed of rice.

Would you believe me if I told you that dolphin is made completely out of chocolate? The base is tempered chocolate covered with modeling chocolate that was colored. Notice too that there are truffles to be enjoyed that holds a smooth, and rich, creamy pineapple ganache filling.

ABOUT ME

I'm just a regular guy with epilepsy who has a HUGE PASSION for food!

​​I've been baking since I was five-years-old. It started by baking brownies with my mom, and my passion for food began to grow. Over the years, I continued to practice and did everything I could've, and continue to do, to train myself at home. My love for food is committed to working on preparing different type of desserts. A desire to become a pastry chef, I continue to train myself in culinary arts too. 

My epilepsy has always interfered in my life as The Epileptic Culinarian. Averaging 20-25 seizures per month, it prompts me to be a safety hazard in the kitchen. Safety is a priority, and when my seizures begin to increase, I suspend myself from working in the kitchen. It's never easy, but I continue to stay committed with my passion for food. Epilepsy will kick me out, but I will always find my way back.

I chose to design this website to share my knowledge and experience, as the Epileptic Culinarian. Essential terms, identification, methods, and procedures used will lead to success in a presentation. It's not easy to explain to others without the use of culinary terms, and procedures, they may not be familiar with. With my epilepsy interfering with bringing my career goals to an end, I want to pass on my knowledge to others who wish to pursue something that I have a passion for.

More About the Epileptic Culinarian

Catering For Others

My family and friends all know that I love to cook and bake. My passion for food, knowledge, and experience. Occasionally, they'll put in the request for me to cater to some of my desserts for an event they may be hosting. When they ask, I question them, "what would you like for me to prepare?" All they have to do is tell me what they would like, or I can show them one of my menus I designed for them to select from.
​

I never cater for a profit, or for someone who I do not know. Who cares for the money when all I want to do is share my love for food? I cater for passion, not profit, and it's only to support my family and friends when they need a delicious dish to serve. My goal is to serve a culinary experience they have not experienced before.
