Chef Tips:

1. I love bread. I love eating bread. I love making bread. I love teaching people how to bake bread. I wrote a cookbook all about bread and how to use every last crumb to its full potential. Read more about Bread Toast Crumbs, an IACP finalist, here.

2. Cooking seasonally is of utmost importance to me. I subscribe to a farm share, the Roxbury Farm CSA (Community Supported Agriculture—more on that here), nearly year round. I love the weekly challenge of using a box of vegetables to its fullest potential and helping others do the same. 

3. I love cookbooks. My library contains over 500 books. It continues to grow.
