Summary:
I have been cooking for 25 years. I've worked in some really great establishments with some really great teachers. My experience ranges from working a bank of 6 deep fryers at a fish and chip restaurant in my teens to working five star hotels and feeding cast and crew of multi-million dollar film productions. It's been fun.
