About me
I had been in the restaurant business for 25 years, and just recently have changed to careers to commercial real estate.I now love to cook for my family and friends, the occasional catered dinner, and especially on holiday's. I have been married to my lovely wife, Debra, for 10 years and we have a son named Moses. I truly get great joy when cooking with my son, and it seems as though he is really beginning to like it, he will even try vegetables that he has helped prepare!!
I hope everybody enjoys the site, as well as all the great recipes.
Cooking Influences
All of the chef's that I worked with in one way or another gave me great insight not only to food, but how to run a successful kitchen. The chef that had the biggest influence on me was Dieter Kohler, I worked for him when I was in culinary school, there is not a more knowledgeable chef/restaurant owner that I know. At the age of 21 he was in the Culinary Olympics, worked throughout Europe, and then moved to America, and eventually opened his own restaurant in upstate New York, The Olde Heidelberg.
