English term or phrase: I label, I created this label
Hello everyone,

- So tell me what you do as a professional home cook.

- Yeah, I label, I created this label** of professional home cook because I am a professional chef but what I really love is cooking for friends and family at home.

Does the phrase in question simply mean "I call myself a professional home cook because" or does it mean that she (chef) has created a brand/tendency or something like that?

More context:

http://www.aliyaleekong.com/about/

I am a professional home cook. **I came up with this label** because, although I’m a classically trained chef, have spent time in the kitchens of Jean Georges, Devi, and Per Se and am now a Chef and Culinary Creative Director at Junoon in New York City, my love of cooking begins in the home – creating surprising and delicious dishes for my family and friends.

Thank you.
