Question
how long did you to school to be a cook

Answer
Trenton -
I never went to school to be a cook - I learned through osmosis - from my grandmother, my mother, my Dad and, lest we forget  Julia Child.  I remember going into the kitchen and just trying to re-create what my grandmother had made.  

I really wanted to learn so I went into the kitchen a LOT!!!!  I had a lot of mistakes - but then, I had a lot of triumphs.  You have to love what you do and practice, practice, practice.

Hope this answers your question - and I'm so sorry it took me a while to answer - this was a busy week for me.

Let me know how you do  or if you need any more advice regarding schools, etc.

Expertise

I can answer most questions regarding Latin American/Spanish recipes (and if I don`t know the answer I have many cookbooks that will probably contain the answer.) Several of my recipes appeared on the Food Network. I love to work on my original recipes - and make the tried and true. I am really passionate about learning different ethnic cuisines and I treasure all of the grandmothers out there who have recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation.

Experience

Past/Present clients:I have catered for several gymnastics clubs. I taught cooking classes for 4-H, for a facility for the elderly, for a women's club monthly meeting, and at a supermarket showing people who sign up for cooking class how easy good cooking can be.

Publications
Rachael Ray's magazine.

Education/Credentials
Self taught cook - had a great family who passed down recipes.
