Hello and welcome to Toothsome Bites, my website where I catalog my random cooking ventures and share some of my favorite recipes! I am a general dentist (DMD) by profession. It’s a huge blessing to be able to serve my community and be involved in this meaningful labor of improving quality of life through preventive and restorative dentistry! Without strong healthy teeth, how else could we eat and enjoy all the amazing food this world has to offer?

I have no professional cooking experience, and I’m just an amateur cook that enjoys reproducing family recipes, experimenting & modifying recipes that I find in cookbooks or online, and attempting to pick apart and recreate my favorite restaurant dishes. It’s nice when those fancy restaurants literally list out all of the ingredients on their menu [haha, thanks a bunch! ;) ].

I was blessed to grow up in a home where my mom would always invite me to help her in the kitchen. I learned most of my cooking from watching her create her countless delicious dishes. Now, I love to test and develop new recipes with seasonal and regional ingredients, and appreciate all my friends and family who are courageous enough to try my food.

And nope, this page isn’t dedicated to healthy recipes with no added sugars, fats, or other amazingly delicious ingredients. It’s simply a portfolio of food that I love to eat. But, don’t forget to brush and floss daily!
