About Me

My name is Hammed and I approach cooking and restaurant dining in the same way I tackle life which is with simplicity and good taste. I embrace balance and effortless techniques in preparing easy recipes and sophisticated, yet easy meal solutions suitable for all ages and occasions. When not in my kitchen, I am often in the presence of my wife and kids, mastering photography or having fun exploring the DMV restaurant scene. My favorite food is one that brings us together, promotes laughter and creates new and lasting memories.

I often find that food sparks conversations and connections that are not achievable in other social settings. Some of my fondest interactions with friends, family and strangers have occurred around a dinner table, a kitchen or in some other shared space where food is the center of attention. My goal is to offer exposure to different foods and cuisines, provide resources to level-up your dining experience and build an online community of cooks at all levels that unite like family and friends around great food.
