San Francisco Bay Area
Cooking teacher, cooking parties
I've been a life long lover of anything to do with food whether it's growing it, cooking it or eating it. I was surrounded by farms, growing and preserving food, and cooking from a very early age and some of my earliest memories are of me sitting on a high stool by the stove watching jam being made and tasting it. For many years, cooking and developing my own recipes was a way for me to unwind and reconnect with myself and with others. At the age of 50-something, I graduated from Tante Marie Cooking School in San Francisco and am now embarking on Part 2 of my worklife by teaching cooking classes, doing cooking parties and team building classes in San Francisco and Marin Counties. Over the last few months, I've been working through the Marin Agricultural Land Trust (MALT) to create a series of cooking classes I'll teach at the farms/ranches to encourage locavore cooking and eating. I'm thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to meet some of the local farmers and ranchers that are putting food on my table and working with the food they are providing the community. We recently held the first class with much success!
