My passion for cooking started at thirteen years old, my mom became a single working mom of two (my sister and I) therefore I quickly took on household chores and started cooking dinner for the three of us on a daily basis. What started as something I needed to do quickly turned into what I looked forward to every day. The more recipes I explored the better a chef I became and soon enough, by the time I was 21, I was baking and cooking for families, parties, and events. My hobby quickly turned into a business when I started developing practical skills in the kitchen while I was WWOOFing (World-Wide Opportunities for Organic Farming). While taking part in this adventure I learned how to grow, process, and cook organic food. I have a wide range of specialities from my highly requested lasagna, chicken Alfredo tortellini, about 12 different types of soup, warm salads, as well as a long list of baked goods.
