    On a more personal note

    Not just a cook . . .

    Cooking is one of my great loves and passions and there is so much more to me than food.

    I am permaculture design certified, an artist, an avid gardener

    and a hospice volunteer.

    I am committed to supporting local and small businesses and showing up for community in a multitude of ways.
