Starting with the legendary ANNA Magazine, I’ve been cooking, styling, teaching and writing about food for over 20 years. 

Over the last few years I have poured my heart and soul into creating an online presence where I can help you fall in love with cooking again!

In my programs I want to teach you the essentials, tips and techniques that will stay with you for a lifetime. 

Having confidence in the kitchen and learning by heart, comforting go-to classics, will not only make you a better cook; but a happier person. 

I can't wait to share my love of food with you.
