More about me
For me, cooking is...
Bringing people together. I cater an escape for people. Take them to a new world that is only as vast as the Dinner table. Everything else fades away.
I learned to cook at...
With the mentoring of 3 different Chefs when I was 18-21. The head chef told me to drop out of culinary school - he needed me full time. Chef KB! TY
A cooking secret...
Every ingredient has purpose, and it's place in a dish. Just as every dish has a purpose to be enjoyed. I make sure each plate reaches it's potential.
