My daughter was born a month premature in January 2015 after a high risk pregnancy. I took up a work from home job as a restaurant consultant, menu developer, writer and catering as often as possible. I staved off returning to a kitchen until I underwent major surgery in February 2017 for ovarian cancer. I am proud to say that unhealthy stage in my life is over. I may have taken time off "work" but NEVER stopped cooking, creating and testing new recipes and ideas. I would love to show an owner what I can do, if a serious offer of creativity were made. Every great chef is a one of a kind. So am I.
