After studying Visual Design, she began working as an illustrator and doll artist. Ever since she was young,
Chae has always been interested in drawing, crafts, and the colorful dishes her mother made for her. But her
passion was more focused on eating the food rather than the cooking itself. Her interest in cooking grew as
she became a mother who tries to regularly make healthy and delicious meals for her children. She is now
ready to learn the taste and value of Korean cuisine from her mother.
