The ever expanding album of things that cross my mind and computer screen. i am a classically trained chef through the Culinary Institute of America with 15 years of previous experience before my education. I continued my chefdom career for 15 more years while exploring education as an adjunct for 4 years. I am now an Associate Professor of Culinary Arts of 5 years. Edit to add: Enrollment in higher education has steeply declined and I was informed that I was no longer eligible for a teaching contract due to declined need for instructors. I really enjoyed that period of my career. I am back in a restaurant kitchen and enjoying that. I decided to forgo a leadership position for more personal/ family time. Okay, I’ll see if this ever happens. Get this profile to the front page, and I’ll make a culinary fundamentals video. Proper knife sharpening, tying a roast beautifully, breaking down a salmon, how to achieve Maillard reaction, etc. Though, I will warn you, baking is not my forte.

Dear Cinderfella,
