A graduate of the FCI (French Culinary Institute) in New York City, I am passionate about food. I came to cooking as a revelation after spending much of my life to date in the theatre . . . and I haven't looked back. What excites me most about food and the culinary world are its dichotomies. We as culinarians can so easily blur the seemingly hard lines with amazing effect. We cling to our food history, because it has literally helped build who we are, yet we are constantly in search of the next great thing to put on our table. Often the answer to the second lay simply in looking to the first.
