… 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 …

This group is THE place for anyone who has an interest in wine.  It is for those that already enjoy wine as well as those who are just interested in starting to learn about and try wine.

Lower your nose:)  We will enjoy wine, hopefully learn some things, and have a good time.  At times we dive into c …

… To be more inclusive dietarily, this group is "lacto-ovo" (allowing milk & eggs plus other nonmeat foods like cheese) but we welcome vegan/raw folks & such potluck dishes as some of us (myself included) are very interested in learning more about the latter. If the group wants, I would be glad to post vegan &/or raw dietary themed meetups in addition to our mainstay lacto-ovo ones. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for this group & if you are interested to he …
