​​DINNER THYME

My earliest food memories are of sitting in my den, next to my dad, watching "Julia Child" on the televsion. At my house, when friends came over, instead of playing house like the other little girls, we played "Restaurant". I had an amazing fake kitchen set up in our basement completed with an "Easy Bake Oven" and all of my mini cooking equipment. THIS WAS MY DOMAIN :) As I grew older, my favorite class in Middle & High School was always Home Economics, which I excelled in. I always had to put my own creative spin on whatever the task at hand was. My teachers used to joke with me that I was going to end up doing something with food in my future. After getting married and the arrival of my first son Alexander, I turned on the television and "BOOM" there was "The Food Network". This was a pivotal moment in my life, even though at the time I did not realize it. What had started as a source of entertainment for me, had now become my passion. I watched "The Food Network" chef's prepare a countless variety of dishes from all over the world. My passion then led to an obsession with cooking, and my journey to becoming a chef was born. I quickly started cooking for all of our family holidays, which led to the dinner and cocktail parties of family and friends. I  continued to howne my skills in my own kitchen, working  very hard to perfect my own original recipes. Many years had passed, and my second son Jake was born. Countless days and nights spent in the kitchen, paid off I started my own business "Dinner Thyme" my third child, "if you will". I am very proud to say that I have been cooking professionally for thirteen years now catering, personal chefing, allergy elimination cooking, cooking lessons and small corporate events. I have also been very involved in the 'Farm To Fork Movement' as well as 'Local Sustainable Seasonal Cooking.'
