  • Being brought up in a family very much in touch with its Romanian roots, Ashley was immersed in the rich and unique flavors of Eastern European cooking from a young age. Recipes like mamaliga and sarmale hold a special sentimentality for Ashley and remind her of Christmas Eves spent in her grandmother's kitchen.
  • As a teenager, Ashley began working as a waitress in an Indian restaurant in her hometown where she was first introduced to international flavors. Since discovering dishes such as papri chat and paneer makhani, Ashley embarked on a love affair with South Asian cooking that has lead her to seek out all of the aromatic cuisines the region has to offer.
  • After finishing school at the University of British Columbia, Ashley moved to Wroclaw, Poland to pursue an education in veterinary medicine. Living in Europe has given Ashley the chance to sample traditional cuisines from countries such as Germany, the U.K., Belgium, Austria, and of course Poland.
