Born and raised in Saint Paul, Minnesota, I have been in the food business for over 20 years. I believe the best memories are made around a table full of good food with friends and family. I’m excited to show you how to cook meals and baked goods you’ll feel confident sharing, no matter your skill level.

Cheers!
