Celebrating 42 years
of teaching
My students have taught me as much as I have taught
them since my first class in New York in 1966. I have enjoyed their enthusiasm and camaraderie as
they learn and share in preparing every kind of food. I hear from many of them, who still use the recipes they
have cherished for years. Here in
the hills and valleys of southwestern Wisconsin I continue the same tradition
that took me from New York to Chicago to here. I use locally grown organic foods whenever possible. I
joyfully cook the way I learned, close to the seasonal foods I use, with the
bonus that here they are mostly organic and locally grown. My goal is for you to connect to the
land through food by cooking with all your senses.
Each class
covers know how and the many techniques for your everyday cooking. I use
recipes as a guide and share different approaches in preparing them.
Bon Appetit!
