Memory Chef

I come from a big family, who like to eat. A lot! After more than a decade in professional video production, I turned the camera around on my family, and it changed my life forever. I want you all to feel what it's like to give this gift to your family. I'm here to help you pause time, to help you let go of your fear of not remembering. I'm here to teach you how to pass down your family stories to future generations with emotional, and meaningful films that you'll cherish forever.

There wasn't a recipe.

She just knew how to make it, and that was that.

I remember making ice kiffel in the kitchen with my Grandma. I remember her voice, patient and kind, teaching me. I remember her hands - they seemed so old to us kids! I want my kids to know her, too. What she was like. How she spoke, the way she laughed. That weird little twist she did with the ice kiffel that I still haven’t gotten quite right after all these years. I love the way video lets you capture moments in time where photos fall short. I'm no longer afraid of forgetting her, or not knowing how to make our family comfort food. I want you to have that peace of mind too.
