“This place is full of food and people dedicated to the world of food. Immerse yourself!”

How long have you been a Certified Master Baker (CMB)?

Roughly 25 years and I’ve never had to renew it thankfully because if I did, I would need to practice some!

What is your favorite part about teaching Advanced Baking Principles?

I think showing the students that there are opportunities to adjust and create recipes for those people out there who normally can’t eat what we make.
