| Introduction | My early cooking forays included sugar and butter sandwiches and small undercooked cakes in an Easy Bake Oven™. I quickly graduated to making French toast and fried chicken, and at the age of 15 surprised my mom for her 40th birthday with an elaborate Chinese dinner cooked entirely from scratch. After putting my passion for cooking on the back burner for twenty years while working and raising a family, I began pursuing culinary education to supplement my years of learning by trial and error in my own kitchen. My training includes: • Cook Street School of Fine Cooking - Denver, CO • Le Cordon Bleu - Paris, France • Cooking in an Undiscovered Hill Town - La Torretta, Casperia, Italy • Ecole Escoffier at the Ritz - Paris, France • The School of Gourmet Cooking and Catering - Atlanta, GA • Cookin' Cajun Cooking School - New Orleans, LA • Hofmann Escuale de Hosteleria - Barcelona, Spain • On Rue Tatin - Louviers, France • The Awaiting Table - Lecce, Italy • International Wine Guild - Certified Executive Sommelier. Through my cooking school I delight in sharing my passion for food, wine and cooking with my students! |
