Nuhma Tuazon immigrated to the United States from the Philippines with her family when she was thirteen. However, the sounds and smells of her childhood—freshly caught fish, newly picked vegetables, bustling markets—continued to anchor Nuhma’s sense of home and inspire her lifelong passion for cooking.  At twenty years old, Nuhma moved to France to intern under Pierre Hermé at Fauchon, the iconic French gourmet food company, before returning to New York to complete the Pastry and Baking Arts program at the Institute of Culinary Education, and eventually working for the Michelin Starred Bouley restaurant. 

Numha founded Nuhma NYC, which quickly grew as an in-demand catering and events company known for its exquisite yet approachable cuisine, unparalleled service, and famous fried chicken.
