Cindy's love for cooking was fostered at a young age by her family's influence. She took many trips to her Grandparents' farm where she enjoyed picking and husking corn, making applesauce, and sampling her Grandma's homemade treats. As she got older, her mother encouraged her to choose recipes, and then shop and cook for the family. Much of her learning in the kitchen came from trying new recipes, which she liked to share with family and friends.
Cindy pursued her interest in cooking at George Brown College in Toronto, Ontario, Canada where she completed the Food and Beverage Management Program. After college she traveled to Santa Barbara, California where she fell in love with the local farmer's markets and all the wonderful produce available year round. She developed a line of sugar free fruit spreads which she sold at the local markets and also through retail stores nationwide. Her latest venture is a Personal Chef Service which is perfectly suited to her love of preparing and serving delicious meals.
Her work experience includes preparing gourmet pizzas at a European style marketplace, managing the kitchen of a bustling cafe and serving in a variety of restaurants. She is ServSafe Certified and a member of the American Personal and Private Chef Association.
Cindy enjoys the challenge of satisfying all sorts of tastes and preferences. She loves to cook with fresh vegetables, herbs and fruits as well as nutritious grains. She believes it is very important for friends and families to enjoy healthy, home cooked meals together. She looks forward to the opportunity of serving you.
