She started as one of William-Sonoma’s Technique Class instructors and soon became one of their top Cooking Class instructors as well as Trainer for all the other Instructors.

With her hands on Organic approach to teaching, Chef walks the students through step by step explaining the thoughts, techniques and explanations as to why things work. Her knowledge is laced with her humor.
