About
Hello,
I have been in the restaurant industry for 35 years. I am also an avid home cook. I love new flavors,techniques and styles of cooking. I have taught hundreds of people to cook. Although most of that was in a different setting. I will be teaching classes at the community center this October. I am vegetarian. I can teach you to cook meat but my style currently is more fresh healthy and flavorful. I am pretty well-versed in most styles of food. Mediterranean is my current favorite. I’m also good at Italian, Mexican, most styles of Chinese and some Japanese cooking.
I love combining flavors and techniques to get something new and delicious. I also enjoy helping people learn what they like. Introducing new flavors. Introducing new foods.
