I am an aspiring chef and food activist. My passion is FOOD and improving my community!
I am pretty broke, so currently culinary school is not an option. In the meantime I do whatever I can to educate myself and others about food…whether it’s testing out new dishes, learning about the current issues or figuring out new ideas to improve the food quality in my community.
Currently I have a cooking show on public access, I do cooking demos in my community and I spend a lot of my time reading about and consuming food, lol!
This website will focus on my journey as I persue my passion!
Keep it Fresh, Local and in Season!
EAT FRESH
Taste the difference. At a farmers’ market, most local produce has been picked inside of 24 hours. It comes to you ripe, fresh, and with its full flavor, unlike supermarket food that may have been picked weeks or months before.
EAT LOCAL
Locally grown produce is fresher. While produce that is purchased in the supermarket has been in transit or cold-stored for days or weeks, produce that you purchase at your local farmer’s market has often been picked within 24 hours of your purchase. This freshness not only affects the taste of your food, but the nutritional value which declines with time.
EAT WHAT’S IN SEASON
Get in touch with the seasons. When you eat locally, you eat what’s in season. You’ll remember that cherries are the taste of summer. Even in winter, comfort foods like squash soup and pancakes just make sense–a lot more sense than flavorless cherries from the other side of the world. Also the discovery of new flavors.
