I am passionate about cooking and learning new recipes I worked in a field supporting people. Part of my job was life skills which included cooking skills. I am currently working with a young woman and part of my job is helping her to prepare food and clean. I am also an amazing home chef and I regularly prepare meals for my freezer. I love all kinds of cuisines including Mexican, Italian, Indian and various Asian cuisines. I also worked in hospitality for many years. I was front of house but I learned a lot from professional chefs.
