ABOUT THIS COOK:

I am an entrepeneur starting my own Jam, Chutney, Pickles and Relish Company. I am in my early 50's, I had a corporate career with AT&T, Lucent Technologies and Avaya for the first half of my life. I love to cook and bake and have really found my passion in developing and creating the flavor profiles for my products. I have a website for my products (www.sunchowdersemporia.com), along with a blog (www.sunchowdersemporia.blogspot.com) and I am also active on Facebook and Twitter! I really love being part of the Food52 community.
