I guess I began learning at home watching my Nana cook our meals etc. I was always interested in the art of cooking. <br /><br />And when I started the job waiting on tables at the Tavern, as I said I watched and learned a lot from Mr. Wypow. And I began helping him prep in small ways during our Saturday afternoons...and I went from there. I then became a self-taught cook/chef. I never did the official training to be a chef...but over the ensuing years I sure did a lot of cooking in the professional capacity.<br /><br />Thanks for popping in. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-4649797204306384612014-09-10T15:37:35.334-07:002014-09-10T15:37:35.334-07:00You were a beautiful bride.
