My Culinary Experience
My first job cooking was at 15 in a small pizza shop. I then went on to cook in a small Italian restaurant followed by a few pubs/bars and grills. Since leaving the world of restaurants, my favorite hobby and greatest passion is cooking. I cook for my family, my friends and special meals for myself. It is how I give when someone is in need -- it is my love language.
My Passion for Cooking
My Culinary Experience
My Culinary Experience
I come from a family of wonderful cooks. My grandparents owned multiple restaurants and my mom took her cooking to a new level making meals for me and my seven siblings which has now grown to meals for 38 people. We all pitch in. Cooking and eating delicious food is what we do when we are together. Making meals is how we bond. It's how we fill the time between making jokes and making memories.

I believe that cooking should be fun, creative, and approachable. I strive to make delicious and healthy meals that are accessible to everyone, regardless of their skill level in the kitchen. My hope is to teach the basics of cooking and then allow whoever the chef is in the family to be able to throw together a meal with what they have on hand and to alter their favorite recipes so it meets their families needs.
What to Expect?
My cooking classes will be a collaboration, cooking and cleanup.The goal is to create two meals and for everyone to be working together. You can have some wine or appetizers. It is meant to be a fun, positive and relaxing activity. Catch up with old friends, connect with new ones and laugh along the way. Each class will be 1.5 hours to two hours long including introductions, prep, cooking, eating and cleanup.
Want to be a Host?
Make sure you have enough seating for everyone you invite. Make sure you are okay with a touch of a mess that will be cleaned up at the end. You will be responsible for telling your friends the cost and covering anyone who does not pay. You also get to keep all the left-overs. I will need to know the menu and dietary restrictions three days in advance and we will need to discuss what items you have in your kitchen before our cooking session.
Cancellations
I buy the food two days in advance. If cancellations are made after the food after the food has been purchased, host will be responsible for incurring the cost and will also receive the food Don't worry, I will provide a recipe on how you can use the food.
Baking is science and cooking is an art, get in touch with your artistic side.
