"The Culinary Arts have
always been my passion."
The Culinary Arts have always been my passion. For years I
would study different cuisines and then learn how to cook
them with my own personal touch. With no formal training I
was able to make different cuisines such as: American
comfort food (Soul Food), Asian, Cajun, Cuban, French,
Italian, Indian, Jamaican, Mexican and Moroccan........
To learn more about The Culinary Arts, I enrolled in Robert
Morris Culinary School where I learned the fundamental
concepts, skills and techniques involved in basic cooking. I
practiced production cooking using different meats, sea foods,
and poultry. I learned Garde Manger, Baking and Pastry, A la
Minute Cookery, American Cuisine, International Cooking,
Classical Cuisine, Menu Management, and Restaurant
Operations Management. I ended Culinary School by
completing an intensive internship at Bam Boo Blue
Restaurant located in Homewood Illinois, in which I trained
under Chef Jerry Binford. I was on the Presidents Honors list
throughout Culinary School and received a Sanitation License
and was awarded an Associates Degree in Culinary Arts."
