“If we don’t watch out, the pleasure to be gained from the discriminating enjoyment of food will be lost.  It may not be long before the art of fine cooking is viewed as the invention of a handful of snobs … A whole aspect of living well, of civilization itself, is threatened with extinction”.

I have worked in the restaurant and catering industry for over 35 years. I attended 2 culinary schools in Southern California, and have a degree in culinary arts from the Southern California School of Culinary Arts, as well as a few other degrees in other areas. I love to cook and I love to feed people.
