A New Chapter 🔥

Over the past few months, life changed in ways I never expected.

After my motorbike accident, I nearly lost my life… and I did lose my leg.

Moments like that force you to stop and ask yourself a real question:

What dream would I regret not chasing?

For me, the answer has always been food.

Cooking. Comfort meals. Rustic dishes. The kind of food that brings people together around a table.

This page started as Al Dente Gourmet Catering, and I’m incredibly grateful for every single person who supported it.

But after everything that happened, I realised it was time to finally pursue the bigger dream my wife and I have talked about for years.

So this page is evolving into something new:

🔥 Dirty Skillet – DS☆Works

Same passion.
Same love for hearty comfort food.
Just a bigger dream behind it.

My initials are D.S.
My wife’s initials are B.S.

This new chapter is about building something real together — a food brand that could one day grow into pop-ups, a food truck, or maybe even a rustic pub.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this journey so far.

This is just the beginning.
