With a vivacious appetite for creating innovative and diverse food combinations, I started my catering business in 1993 and published my first cookbook, a collection of my most loved recipes. My culinary journey also includes cuisine-related presentations for culinary and book-oriented events and cooking demonstrations for Whole Foods Market and Johns Hopkins University. Passionate about wholesome, nutrient-rich food and following nature’s intended food seasons, my goal is to share my knowledge with others – from experienced chefs to would-be cooks. As a life-long eco-lifestylist, I live the concepts of ethical food practices and healthy food consumption, I maintain a keen focus on supporting local farmers and artisans, promoting sustainable and organic growing and harvesting methodologies, and encouraging consumers to purchase food and prepare menus that are not only healthful and delicious, but involve reduced transportation miles and low carbon footprint.Specialties: Caterer, Food Judge, Culinary Consulting, Food Styling, Menu and Recipe Developer, Corporate Recipe Developer, Food Columnist, Food Blogger, Traveling Culinary Demonstrator
