I have a passion for fresh, local and sustainable ingredients.

If Creating Great food is Worth the Effort, why compromise by using food  produced with poor or harmful practices?

Let's talk about sustainability in my "Ask the Chef Forum."

Is Creating Great Food
Worth the Effort?

 Oh, yea...
We all eat every day; so why settle for the mundane, and bland, especially when you can have delectable and delicious? Creating great meals take a bit more time and planning, but for my pallet's sake I'd rather have my meals prepared from scratch, with the freshest local ingredients, rather than use over-processed commercial ingredients!

Are you a culinary novice but would love to kick it up a notch in your kitchen? Is your cooking the fuel for family humor? Chefs in many areas around the country, and even around the world, are offering home cooking classes. You can even take cooking classes at many local colleges and universities. Put in some effort and you'll enjoy eating the return on your investment!
