My passion for creating food is driven by curiosity and this curiosity has brought me to the culinary school, California Culinary Academy. Garde Manger has filled this curiosity that set the goal in motion of writing about an age old process of preserving & presenting artful displays. Teaching cooking is the art of expression regarding the love of food.
