Welcome to the culinary world of Chef Shayne, where rich heritage meets modern mastery.
Born and raised in Hawaii, I come from a vibrant ethnic mix of Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, and Filipino roots, each adding a unique flavor to my creations. Inspired by my mother, a chef herself, my passion for cooking was ignited at a young age. By the age of 8, I was already exploring the art of cooking, setting the stage for a lifelong culinary journey.
Over the past decade, I have honed my craft across the globe, living in diverse locales such as Japan, Las Vegas, Korea, California, and finally returning to my home in Hawaii. Each place has left its mark on my culinary style, blending international influences with my ethnic heritage to create truly unique dishes.
Starting in 2018, the last several years have been a deep dive into the world of luxury kitchen appliances with an emphasis on brands like Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau. This experience has not only refined my skills but also allowed me to help others unlock the full potential of their culinary equipment through tailored training sessions, immersive cooking classes, and bespoke catering services for intimate gatherings.
Embark on a culinary adventure with me, where we’ll elevate meals into extraordinary culinary experiences.
