About
I am a classically trained chef who understands that not everyone wants to be a culinary guru but just want to be more efficient in the kitchen. I love being able to use my skillset to help others who want to prepare healthier meals, tastier meals or even just quicker meals! Instead of just teaching my students to follow a recipe I teach them the skillset to be more efficient in the kitchen and make cooking fun!
I love seeing my students master a new skill. Once they have learned the basics they are ready to move on to more challenging tasks. There is never a dull moment! When I am not teaching I absolutely love tweaking new recipes and creating new menu items. Cooking is not just what I do - it is truly my super power!!!

Don't let the price point make the decision for you-look to see what is being offered and if you will get what you are looking to benefit from. Ask questions then make your decision.
