Everything CULINARY
Have you always wanted to write a book, but don't know quite how to organize your thoughts? Have an event in mind, and need a speaker well-rounded in food and wellness? Want to learn knife skills and cook simple and delicious balanced meals, or dig into Asian food ways? Let's discuss.
I started my professional career in publishing and the culinary field in 1995. I've written books, articles, have taught and lectured internationally. I have catered special events, from sit-down coursed meals, to cocktail parties and buffets for any occasion, and for small to large crowds. I love hard work that is filled with fun, celebrating both staff and clients. Collaborative effort is essential to a successful event.
