I love how food brings people together. As much as I enjoy dining out I have been hosting dinner parties for as long as I can remember and thoroughly enjoy celebrating cooking for family and friends at home. So which parts of food do I love most? Try all of them.
I Love to Shop because it reminds me of the sources of my food. While some people might find it to be a drudgery I love how being at any food outlet is an sensory overload. The sights, smells and textures all come alive for me whether it be a great produce display at Whole Foods Markets, a roadside fruit stand or bustling farmer's market at the crack of dawn.
I Live to Eat. Who doesn't love eating but I also strive to eat healthy. I have taken Natural Foods Chef Training course from Chef Jenny Brewer offered at New Leaf Market in Santa Cruz. This fantastic eight week program covered just about facet of healthy eating including fats, sustainable produce, natural proteins, raw diet, sprouting, sweeteners and Superfoods. For more details on this course check out my blog and just click on the Cooking Class category.
Need to Cook? We all do. The common denominator for most of my recipes is simple. Most people I know have busy lives and they prefer fresh but fast. I rewrite every recipe I use into a format that is more intuitive for ease of shopping, prepping and cooking.
Love to Teach. I will soon be offering at home cooking classes featuring my favorite foods and designed especially for home chefs.
