She attended the Apicius Cooking School of Lorenzo de’Medici in Florence, Italy; received a James Beard Foundation scholarship; attended various New York cooking schools; and watched her grandmother very carefully.

I love you blog and I'm sorry I forget about you so often.

Check me out this Saturday, June 5th,  when I will be doing an improvisational cooking demonstration at the Palisades Farmers Market at 11AM.  The local Rockland Health Department said I (and others) need to pay them $45 for a permit in order for people to be allowed to sample the food. Hey, do you really think $45 keeps people from getting sick. This is especially odd since everyone will see exactly what is being prepared right before their eyes. The rules on these things get stranger all the time. I've been cooking for over ten years and have approval and a permit, no charge, from the Department of Agriculture to make baked goods in my very own kitchen. Oh well, such is such.  I'll be there cooking anyway and about the tasting I just can't say...... There is a great article in the Dining Section of the NY Times about people making food to sell. You gotta read it.
