I’ve had a love affair with cooking since I could reach the stove. Growing up on Long Island, New York, I had many years to sharpen those cooking skills while experiencing the many facets of multicultural cuisine. While other kids were out playing, I absorbed the many intracacies of cooking from Julia Child, Graham Kerr (The Galloping Gourmet), and other television cooking shows, books, and magazines. I often found myself writing down recipes of the day just to zip into the kitchen to try to duplicate them!

Until recently, cooking was a passion undertaken on the side -- kept on the "back burner," if you will. But after working as a real estate paralegal for over sixteen years, I decided to take my passion for cooking and turn it into a business. I wanted to help busy families eat healthier and gather around the dinner table where they could relax with each other and have more time to do the things they enjoy. Deciding on my new professional career was easy: cooking.

Today, I continue my quest for the latest and greatest in culinary trends. Family and friends love coming to my house for holiday feasts and dinner parties; they always know they're going to experience some delectable new and interesting culinary treat. And now, these same treats are ripe for the picking by any of my clients!

As a member of the Personal Chef's Network (PCN), I can offer even more to my clients. I share the PCN's mission to help busy families with smart cooking solutions! The personal chefs and their network of mentors are the best in the industry, and offer invaluable benefits to each member to help spice up our cooking potential, including sharing menus and solutions for specific dietary recommendations. These resources allow me to flavor my offerings with even more variety and specialty dishes. No matter what dietary requirement each client has, I have hundreds of personal chefs and resources at my disposal to plan appropriate menus to fulfill their requests.
