I am a chef in the beautiful area of Portland, Maine. I have spent most of my life learning about the world of food, starting in vocational school indulging in culinary, followed by Johnson and Wales where I graduated with a degree in the Culinary Arts. Eight years later, I still thoroughly enjoy what I do; the main focus of my food creations has become farm-to-table, and I try to incorporate this as often as I can. When I’m not in the kitchen, I enjoy this beautiful state of Maine, walking, kayaking, fishing, and lounging on the beach. Friends and family always come first. I have a passion for making food that is beautiful and delicious, and I hope these recipes will inspire and guide you on your path to a healthy weight.
