About Me/F.A.Q.

Hello to all my valued guests! This page is designed to give a little information about me and to answer any questions that may be sent in.

First a little about me:

  • I was born and raised in New York. Recently moved down south and the weather here is wonderful. Its great living near the ocean, and having such great weather. NO snow ta worry about... giggles.... Sorry to all those of you who do get snow.. the giggles were merely a gesture to those who I personally know still having to deal with it, nothing personal.


  • At age 16 I began working at the University, in the kitchen, as a weekend salad person. My primary responisbility was to keep the salad bar stocked and prep. ahead for the next day. I found that I really enjoyed working in the kitchen setting, and continued this job through all of high school.


  • Upon graduating from high school, I left for college as a Business Administraion majour. I found that I wasn't really thrilled with the amount of Economics that was required for that majour, and so my second semester, switched to Hospitality Management.


  • While doing this degree, I was required to do work study. So as a result of that requirement, I returned to work at the University that summer, and completed my work study receiving an A++ grade, which is the highest grade on the work study. While doing the work study, I was trained in management responsibilities, inventory, cost control procedures, ordering, waste control, sanitaion laws and more.


  • I gratuated college in 1991 with an A.A.S. (Associates Applied Science) Degree in Hospitality Management. I was ranked in the top 20 in my graduating class.


  • Upon graduating, I yet again returned to work at the University where I worked as a merchandiser (for a time) on the vending machines on campus. Then was promoted to P.M. Cook. Along with another cook, I was in charge of preparing meals for 400+ faculty and staff, we worked wedding receptions, banquets and other catered events.


  • I've also worked at several smaller volume establishments as a line cook, where food was prepared to order.


  • So as you can see, my knowledge in not only Hospitality Management, but in cooking in general is extensive.


  • The goal of this site is to share my knowledge of food, cooking, and anything related to Hospitality Management, with you the reader. Please feel free to send me questions, comments or suggestions, and I'll be sure to post a reply to your question or comment in this section.
