I have always loved cooking for friends and family.  It is something that, without training, has always given me a sense of pride and accomplishment.  Therefore, I decided to attend a professional culinary school so I could improve my skills and learn some new things.  I truly love cooking and really was impressed with what all the institute had to teach me.  I learned more than I thought I would and have improved a few skills I wasn’t that great at.  Now when I cook a family meal or a holiday meal for the whole clan, I truly go out of my way to impress, and usually do!
