Chef Annie was wonderful. She was kind, personable and informative. The food was fantastic.
Chef Annie became enamored with cooking at an early age, teaching herself to prepare complex dishes like duck confit as a teenager. She built a career in accounting before making the leap to culinary school to study baking and pastry arts. She began a business as a private chef while selling her own baked creations on the side. With her transition to culinary instructor, Chef Annie now brings her talents to an exciting new arena.
