Taste as You Cook

I embarked on my culinary journey at the age of 15, scrubbing pots and pans and washing dishes in bustling kitchens. I have worked at golf clubs, resorts/spas, college campuses and I have owned my own restaurant. Now after nearly four decades, that initial spark has transformed into an unyielding passion, richly seasoned with experience. My family has been supportive of every journey I have taken them on to better my craft and expand my knowledge and they continue to be my biggest supporters and food critics. A few years ago, about 8 at this point, my daughter, who had just moved into her college apartment, came to me and said that she had wished she paid more attention to me cooking. She was stuck making ramen, mac n cheese and all of the cheap college foods, so we set out a goal. Every time she would come home to visit, I would teach her how to make something new. This very quickly extended to weekly (sometimes multiple times) phone calls/texts/facetimes of me showing and walking her through cooking. Now, living with her husband and child, we continue this ritual, we cook together whenever we are back together, and she will reach out to me for help on dishes. All of which brought me here. Why just help one person, when I can help multiple with this site. So I extend to you, an invitation to join me and let me give you some delicious recipes, talk to you about different ingredients and show you how to make meals for you, your family and your friends.
