Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been cooking for others (not family) for over 15 years. I by accident began my own catering company at age 14. A family friend recommended my cooking to her colleague who needed a last minute caterer for a fundraiser. My first gig consisted of about 300 people with 2 weeks notice! In 15 years I've catered countless weddings, fundraisers, holidays, parties, etc. I have also taught culinary arts since age 19 (to adults!) and I graduated culinary school in my early 20's. I'm traditionally French trained; however, I just love to make food that tastes good! I love teaching foundational skills because I find my students have so much more creativity than some recipe from the internet. I truly enjoy watching them learn and create!
