With seven decades of cooking and baking experience under her belt, Pat is an expert in the kitchen. She is primarily a self-taught chef and honed her skills through formal and informal training. She started cooking as a teenager when she and her sister were responsible for preparing dinner after school.
Pat is an avid recipe collector and loves the adventure of trying out new dishes and techniques. She often combines global flavors with local ingredients to create unique recipes.
Pat says the best part of being in the kitchen is spending time with family and friends and sharing meals and stories. Her home is always filled with the delicious smells of home cooking.
As important as food and family is to Pat, her faith is the foundation of her life. It is more than a religion but a relationship with Jesus Christ.
