Every day I thank my lucky stars that I was given the opportunity to start my professional life over. In just one short year at Johnson and Wales University, I learned more about food and cooking than I ever thought possible. I hope that through The Front Burner, I can take confusing or unapproachable food, and make it seem clear and easy. My plan is to share my knowledge with you, and show you that cooking should always be fun, and never be scary.
