My experience over the years has included cooking in restaurant kitchens, writing restaurant reviews, teaching culinary arts to people of all ages, creating menus and recipes, and catering both privately and for organizations.
My education includes a BA from St. John’s College, Santa Fe and an AOS from Scottsdale Culinary Institute, a Cordon Bleu school.
Growing up in Boulder and working in the Jewish community means that I have a deep understanding of and care for specialty diets. I have a well-honed ability to make food that looks beautiful, tastes wonderful, and is made from natural and healthful ingredients.
Luckily, I grew up in a family for whom food represents community, connection, and enjoyment; that has led me to a life-long passion for cooking, reading, writing, learning, and teaching about food. My first job in a professional kitchen was over 26 years ago and that was it for me–I was hooked.
After so many years of experience I am still delighted to learn new things and apply them to cooking. And I am lucky to be able to pass a love of all things culinary to my children, clients, and students.
I am ServSafe certified.
