Hi! I'm Chef Nancy and I love to teach and eat good food!
I have spent the last 20+ years as a professional cake decorator and before my youngest chef was born, I taught Wilton Method cake decorating classes for 9 years. I really enjoy sharing my skills with others. I have two chefs in training of my own, Kylee who is 13 and Cody who is 10. Kylee loves fruits and baking, and Cody loves mushrooms and stirring whatever is in the pot! You will see alot of their adventures here.
I love any food that includes bacon! Even desserts! Although I feel health and nutrition are keys to a happy life, it's good to splurge once in a while with good ol' greasy bacon. Being in the bakery industry for so long has built my passion for the good stuff, desserts, but it has also built my passion for food in general. We all need to eat, so why not eat good? I like to encourage kids to play with their food, not to have improper table manners, but to explore what God's green Earth has provided us for nourishment.
I also have a passion for raising self reliant kids. Cooking is such an important life skill that is being lost through our busy schedules that often include nightly drive-thru trips, and pizza. I believe kids can gain confidence and self esteem by creating wonderful, flavorful meals for themselves and family. Letting kids explore and learn about food can make them a more adventurous eater and more willing to try new things.
I am looking forward to this adventure with Children's Culinary Institute and your little chefs in training!
