What do you like best about your business? The personal interaction with people and teaching them new simple skills that are impactful and memorable. And the person that attended a class of mine and says how often they have successfully prepared my dishes for their family and friends.

Do you cater?
No I do not, I prefer the personal interaction with people and I prefer to make an impact on their life.

Do you cook every night? No, but I cook a lot. I take food seriously. It is very important to my husband and I that we sit down together with our kids. It may not be until 7:00 or 7:30, but I don’t care, its worth it.
