Professional Chef and Baker

I am a professional chef of more than two decades. I am versed in classical and modern cooking technique. I have worked as a pastry chef and baker as well to further my offering within the industry. I enjoy catering when time permits and old cook books for study and research. I enjoy learning even more now than I did years ago.
