My passion for community involvement is as strong as my passion for creating mouthwatering masterpieces. I take all the programs I participate in very seriously and am involved in programs I feel truly make a difference. It is my great pleasure to participate in the Annual Veggie U Food & Wine Celebration again this summer.
The event is this Saturday, July 16, 2011, on the grounds of The Culinary Vegetable Institute in Milan, OH. I am honored to be a part of an unsurpassed lineup of more than 30 of the nation’s top chefs who will also don their whites ready to serve up spectacular fare to guests to support the Veggie U a not-for-profit organization. Since 2003 I have been involved with the Earth to Table™ science curriculum for fourth grade and special needs classrooms.
I have submitted a easy to make family-friendly recipe to the events Family Table cook book.
