I live alone now so do not do as much cooking and experimenting as I used to, but I love good food and enjoy new recipes. I do a lot of volunteering (nothing to do with food) and have 3 cats and a greyhound. My daughter is now turning into a great cook and I enjoy giving her advice on cooking and then seeing what she comes up with. I have a great group of "foodie" friends, also dietitians and we enjoy getting together to try new restaurants and cook together at times.

My local restaurant experience includes San Francisco’s Rose Pistola, The Waterfront and Market Hall, The Townhouse Grill & Restaurant in Emeryville and a stint at the famed Chez Panisse in Berkeley. I teach how to make delicious desserts and baked goods at different culinary centers in the San Francisco Bay Area (Sur La Table, Ramekins and the nationally renowned Draeger’s Cooking School) Check my website: http://www.mariateresaskitchen.com/ Maria T Capdevielle Maria T Capdevielle tciccarini@yahoo.com 1 Maria 0 F 0 635 I am a pastry chef graduated from the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, CA. I started cooking and baking when I was a child, helping my mother with her catering business on a part-time basis. We made crostatas, breads, focaccias, rustic pastries and homemade pasta. At the same time, I graduated as a Computer Engineer and worked at Oracle, Ernst & Young and Sun Microsystems for a total of 7 years. At Sun, and with my husband, I got to know the Bay Area. I moved to the United States in mid 2000 and I decided to formalize my culinary passion, becoming a Pastry Chef. Most of my culinary knowledge and experience comes from my family’s Italian business. I also have local experience and training in many bakeries and restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area, including The Rose Pistola in North Beach, The Waterfront in Embarcadero, Market Hall in Oakland, Chez Panisse in Berkeley and The Townhouse Grill & Restaurant in Emeryville, CA. I am also teaching how to bake and make desserts to anyone interested in learning. I published my first cookbook "My Sweet Abruzzo" in December of 2008.

I have lived in small town Oklahoma, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, and Houston. I consider the Bay Area to be the perfect place for one who loves food. The opportunities for great dining are endless, it seems. Every conceivable type of ingredient (well, almost) can likely be obtained here.....and we have great kitchen/cookware stores which carry anything one might need. I always loved food, eating, dining out, entertaining, etc. I started cooking using recipes from such books as the Joy of Cooking, The New York Times Cookbook, Betty Crocker books, and many of the paperback Sunset cookbooks. I still have all of these books. My first stab at 'gourmet' cooking came in the early 80's. It was about the time that "The Silver Palate Cookbook" came out, and I got interested in good cookware. Lots of time has passed since then, and I've become a much better cook but have not had lots of time to devote to it because of other obligations in life (e.g. WORK). I like almost any kind of food, but I particularly and fond of 'comfort food' along with Italian, French, German, Mexican, Indian, Spanish, Chinese, Thai and other international cuisines. Food from the South of France and Tuscany are favorites. I love almost everything about food......researching cookbooks, browsing food-related websites, creating menus, using my kitchen's "toys", the preparation and presentation of meals and enjoying all of this with friends and family. I do NOT enjoy cleaning up, though. :-) Ron Phillips Ron Phillips rkphillips0717@comcast.net 1 Ron 0 M 0 536 My earliest memories of things related to food are the meals my Grandmother Rodgers prepared on their farm in Oklahoma. She was an incredible cook, and everything was homemade with fresh ingredients, much of which was grown on their farm. Even today, I long for her food. Unfortunately, she did not cook using recipes (as far as I know) and her 'recipes' are lost forever. I'm still trying to come up with a biscuit recipe that is anywhere near like hers! :-) Since I've lived in several major world-class cities and have had considerable travel opportunities, my tastes have become much more diverse than when I was that little boy eating Grandma's home cooking. false false false 1 false Phillips 656 2008-07-17T21:39:18+00:00 true false 44b448596d3eab05ea9a64fa4b992d60aabdce6b 0 4720 http://s3.amazonaws.com/grecipes/public/pictures/users/4720/ron_s_photo.jpg false 1 39 63 0 43 b026c821d039f8e008b758fe84752999a52b449b 2008-09-18T20:50:31+00:00 0 2 ron-phillips-536 0 --- - 497 - 452 - 232 - 597 - 599 - 435 - 395 - 13 - 158 - 197 - 157 - 433 FoodieGuy 0 2009-01-15T17:08:29+00:00 94544 --- - 3 - 8 - 232 - 60 - 41 - 497 - 4676 - 4677 - 171 - 23 - 16135 - 24403 Member, National Association for the Specialty Food Trade - Since 2002 Awards: Big Acres Sauces: • 2008 Scovie Awards, Fiery Foods & BBQ Magazine – Hot & Spicy Barbeque Sauce wins 3rd Place. • 2007 Scovie Awards, Fiery Foods & BBQ Magazine - Mango Peach Chile Sauce wins 1st Place. • 2007 Scovie Awards, Fiery Foods & BBQ Magazine - Chipotle Peanut Sauce wins 2nd Place. • 2006 Fiery Food Challenge, Chile Pepper Magazine's - Big Acres Milagro Mole wins a 1st Place Golden Chile Award. • 2005 America's Zesty Best Professional Food Competition - Big Acres Chipotle Peanut Sauce wins 2nd Place. • 2005 Scovie Awards, Fiery Foods & BBQ Magazine - Big Acres Milagro Mole wins 2nd Place. • 2001 Annual Superior Product Awards Competition, Food Distribution Magazine – Big Acres Sauces take honors. • 2001 Annual Superior Product Awards Competition, Food Distribution Magazine - Big Acres Teriyaki Marinade wins two 3rd Place awards • 1999 Annual Superior Product Awards Competition, Food Distribution Magazine – Big Acres Teriyaki Marinade wins 2nd Place Big Acres Spices & Rubs • 2008 Scovie Awards, Fiery Foods & BBQ Magazine – Big Acres Stellar Steak Spice & Rub wins 2nd Place.

I'm Melanie Yunk, President of Melanie's Fine Foods. We create and manufacture the award-winning Big Acres® Gourmet Sauces and Spices & Rubs. My company also distributes gourmet goodies for kitchen & grill. I've been a "foodie" my whole life, and my grandmother was a gourmet cook who made EVERYTHING from scratch. I've always been obsessed with simple, healthy, gourmet food. As an electronics engineer, I traveled worldwide and was privileged to sample many different ethnic dishes. That's how I acquired a discriminating palate for a multitude of different tastes and a passion for experimentation. After 13 years as an electronics engineer for Honeywell and Intel, and as an independent consultant in the semiconductor industry, I decided to combine my business and entrepreneurial skills with my obsession with great food. Moving to the food business allowed me to live my dream every day. The mission of Melanie's Fine Foods is to provide mouth-watering, healthy, great tasting, crowd-pleasing gourmet sauces to consumers worldwide. Our products, Big Acres® Sauces and Spices & Rubs are all natural, preservative- and MSG-free. I'm a California native where I live with my husband Kent in San Carlos, California.

Vicky and her dad are from Mexico and cooked mostly Mexican foods. On weekends, her dad would get up early to make tortillas rolled out by hand. On the stove was a pot of beans and Vicky and I would fry them in lard and eat them with homemade salsa, eggs and tortillas. He also made menudo. Vicky's uncle was a butcher who like to slow cook meat (goat, mostly) in a pit in his backyard. He would shred the meat and Vicky and I would roll it into corn tortillas and fry the tacos for the entire neighborhood! Out of this relationship grew my love of Mexican food and chiles! I love the color, shape, texture and taste of any type of chile and most of all, I love to use them in my cooking! true 4677 false false 1 false Yunk myunk 3954 2008-03-17T21:34:52+00:00 true false 7f02ee431864b5c260408e3640cd73ae36adc89c 7 6750 http://s3.amazonaws.com/grecipes/public/pictures/users/6750/mel_pic4.jpg true 1 58 98 1 43 a8481e6e9539bc43fea8c55f30a472856718f307 2009-11-03T21:46:27+00:00 c4bb2233b1477a9a6b858059082e2dc34b067418 1 2 melanie-yunk-151 0 --- - 497 - 188 - 41 Gourmet Sauce Maker 0 2009-11-21T02:48:41+00:00 94070
