Me, My Blog, and I



Hello world! It's me, Alicia.

Some of you know already know me and many of you will get to know me through this space. Either way, I thank you all for stopping by to visit.

My goal for this blog is to share with you my food experiences and discoveries through commentary, recipes, photos and videos, as well as sharing things that may not have to do with food at all.

Some things you might wonder about me:

  • I have been cooking since I was little and earned my culinary arts degree from Johnson & Wales University.
  • I worked in many facets of the culinary industry including these jobs: hostess, waitress, prep cook, line cook, pastry cook, banquet cook, banquet server, cake decorator, and kitchen assistant on a cooking show.
  • I left the food industry for a time to work behind the scenes in music and television. I have since returned to the kitchen.
  • For the past 5 years I have been working as a personal chef, recipe developer, culinary instructor, and boutique caterer.
  • Community Service/Volunteering is extremely important to me and I think everyone should lend a hand to a cause. You never know when you will be the one in need.
  • I am currently working on a cookbook targeted to parents cooking with children and on a tv cooking show pilot.

Throughout my life, I have always believed that you should always work in a field that makes you happy. Growing up I always had very supportive parents and brothers. Later in life I was fortunate to have extended family who reintroduced me to different culinary niches that reignited my passion for cooking. I am now extremely blessed to not only still have my family and friends surrounding me, but a loving husband, a daughter and a stepson that inspire me daily to continue to pursue my dreams.

To all of them, and to all of you reading my blog, I am grateful.
