Menu Selections (March- May 2026)
Many of the following recipes are from my cooking courses taken on the Amalfi Coast area, Bologna, Siena, Cortona, Rome, Florence, Parma, Modena, Madrid, Portugal, Greece, France and Thailand. I also studied at the Institute of Culinary Education in NYC, PA Institute of Culinary Arts in Pittsburgh and the Culinary Institute of America in San Antonio, TX. However, most of my training came from Pittsburgh’s well known Fox Chapel restauranteur Anna Kao, native of Shangtung, China. I attended 65 of Anna’s classes and learned over 300 Chinese recipes plus Asian cooking techniques which as enabled me to teach Thai, Vietnamese and Korean classes. I have always felt that going to the source /studying abroad would give me AUTHENTIC recipes and techniques to share with you. Other recipes are from TV cooking shows, recipe books, local classes and recipes that I have acquired and tweaked!!!
I hope you enjoy my selections!
