About me
As a chef, I have many cooking methods at my disposal to coax the optimal flavor from food; however, if the food has very little flavor to begin with, then my job becomes far more challenging. So, I feel that it is equally as important to learn how to select high-quality foods for both flavor and nutrition. If we all knew how to choose the freshest piece of fish at the local market, the resulting meal would be exceptional with very little effort—thus my tagline on 'A Lyon in the Kitchen' on Discovery Health and Fit TV, ”Great food starts fresh, and the fresher the ingredients, the better the meal.” Buying locally grown, seasonal food not only supports one's community but the food just tastes better, often costs less, and given the close proximity from which the food is harvested, is even better for the environment.
