Featuring my amazing homemade hummus and my delicious, yet healthful, grainless gluten-free cookies. My products are organic and vegan; the majority of the ingredients are locally sourced from Southern Oregon.

Healthful indulgence is an art and passion for me. Over the last few years I have been perfecting the art of hummus and creating a variety of gluten and sugar free foods to eat and share amongst my community. I am excited to offer my foods, my Affections, to a greater audience.

Artisan Advantage: A Need Fulfilled

Supporting local farmers and taking advantage of the seasonal bounty of Southern Oregon, our foods are produced with the highest quality, organic and locally sourced ingredients. Our clientele have expressed a demand for this level of artisan foods, and we look forward to serving them.

3 Words for Love: What is Agape?

In the Greek language there are 3 words for love.

Eros is passionate love, with sensual desire and longing.

Philia means friendship, brotherly and sisterly, familial, communal love.

Agape is unconditional, divine love. The universal love of spirit and god.

I grew up in the kitchen of a Greek home and have been cooking and baking most of my life. During the 90's in Athens, Ohio I was a worker owner baker at Crumb's Bakery, where I learned the zen and business of baking. I'm an entrepreneur, fitness trainer, martial artist, yogi and the foods I create with are always healthful, delicious and intentional. I live in Ashland, Oregon now and am grateful and inspired to be here. In the last year, I've taken on the role of an adoptive father to a friend's son. This new role has been an inspiration to help achieve my financial and life goals.

"By sharing knowledge and inspiring co-creation we dance with the divine."
