ABOUT THE CHEF

I like to say that it all started with an Easy Bake Oven! At an early age, a passion for cooking and baking developed within me, and that passion has never faded. Whether cooking alongside my mother or grandmother, or aunt, or trying a recipe on my own, cooking was a creative way in which I expressed love and care for others.

Professionally, I have an MAEd in Education and am formally trained in Culinary Arts. I spent many years as a classroom teacher, corporate training leader, and in various restaurant, catering, and culinary director positions. I am a ServSafe Certified Food Manager and regularly attend culinary and health and wellness classes, workshops, and conferences. It is my goal to share my experience and expertise with others in a fun, relaxed, and encouraging manner.

In the ever-changing world of dietary advice, I take a general “less processed” approach to cooking. My focus is on selecting good quality ingredients – vegetables, fruit, proteins, whole grains, legumes, healthier fats, herbs, and spices – to create delicious meals and food products that make dining enjoyable.

Cooking is truly a significant part of my lifestyle along with –

  • trying new restaurants
  • checking out farmers’ markets and specialty food stores
  • sharing meals with my husband, family, and friends
  • meeting new people and making connections
  • attending social and cultural events
  • gardening
  • reading
  • taking long power walks, hikes, and biking
  • refreshing my soul with time by the ocean
