I graduated from Culinary Institute of New York in 1977 and was the culinary director (among other things) for a 350 unit restaurant chain located primarily in the southeast. I am retired but cook every day. I grow all that I can and keep fresh herbs growing year round. Southern and Italian as well as fresh seafood. My mother could not cook and I had to learn to cook out of survival. Inventing and publishing over 300 recipes. Anything that has to rise
