… I believe artful food celebrates your passion for living. I am looking to share my knowledge and provide fun and memorable culinary experiences by creating deliciously fun cooking classes.     My way to approach food and cooking is based on:  Using fresh, high quality ingredients, as much as possible; naturally produced or grown. Using a few, reliable sources for great recipes, and my own practice as a chef in Paris. Having the right tools on hand and being able to time your meals easily Using …
