Introduction My name is Erin Johansen, aka the Queen of Tarts. One of my earliest childhood memories is pulling up a stool to my Yia Yia’s stove (Greek for grandma). Three decades ago my first paying job was in the kitchen of a Greek pastry shop where I washed a lot of giant pots and pans. I have been working for Oregon Fruit for 14 years and my suburban neighborhood serves as test kitchen and my neighbors, the focus group. I love to watch competitive cooking shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef .Although Chef Ramsay is truly evil in the kitchen, I really love to watch Hell’s Kitchen with my two grown up daughters who have always been the light in my life.
Interests Skiing, Biking, Hiking, Gardening, Cooking. In addition to my job, I am a founder and Executive Director of Full Circle Treatment Center providing substance abuse treatment for teens and their families in my community.
Favorite Music Show tunes, Gospel Music
Favorite Books The Hour I First Believed, The Help, The Poisonwood Bible
