http://www.growcookeat.com/ Musings about growing, cooking and eating food. Name: Julia Location: Cambridge, MA, United States I received my professional training as a chef at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, and expanded my education with cooking classes in Indonesia, Thailand, Mexico, China and Vietnam. After working in restaurants in San Francisco, DC and Boston, I started my own business leading Interactive Cooking parties and corporate team-building events through cooking. I play in my garden whenever possible – growing as much produce as my little back yard will yield. And when I need a real “farm-fix,” I visit Even’ Star Organic Farm in Southern Maryland. They usually put me to work harvesting okra, gathering eggs or cooking the staff meal. And every once in a while, I help with a turkey, chicken or pig “matanza”. |
