Focus
It has been 35 years since I left home and by design, hard work and luck pursued a keen interest and sense of reward in good cooking. Starting with a mop bucket and ending up with the Chefs hat has been a hard but fulfilling endeavor. It always seems to boil down that I love food and sharing of the art in preparing and presenting it.
