It's Complicated

About Me:

I am 26 years old, and I recently moved to Raleigh, North Carolina. Cooking is something that has come natural to me. My life revolves around a kitchen, weather its at work, home or at any of my friends houses. I took and passed the Pro Chef Level 2 exams that are hosted by The Culinary Institute of America and The American Culinary Federation. I am an A.C.F certified Chef de Cuisine. I am working on the prep for the Level 3 exams. I love to compete in culinary competitions. I have set two goals that I plan on making, but its going to take a lot of dedication and knowledge. I plan on taking the CMC exam and to trying out for the Culinary Olympics. As of right now, I am looking for a kitchen to call home.

If you could have dinner with any three people who would it be and why?

Thomas Keller- I would love to sit down and enjoy a great meal, with some really good wine.

Edward Leonard, CMC- I would like to sit and have a great meal, and pick his brain about food. Ask what tips or advice he could give. I would also ask him what was the hardest part of the CMC exam.
