About
The Chef:
Penny grew up on the East Coast of England – her grandparents
owned a small restaurant and her father is a wine merchant with his
own wholesale, retail company.
Her life took a major turn when she moved to New York City and was recommended
for a job as a personal chef. She received one-on-one culinary training
by a leading Executive Chef and instructor of the Natural Gourmet Institute
for Food and Health, the Culinary Loft and the Earth Pledge Foundation
in New York City. She also received specialized training in vegetarian,
macrobiotic, Chinese, French and Indian cuisine. She has catered for
many famous clients from small intimate dinners, to large cocktail parties
and special events such as weddings and the 150th celebration of Central
Park, NY.
She
has grown to respect the value of fresh, seasonal, good quality foods
and the importance of good presentation.
Penny
now works as a personal chef, caters small functions and gives private
cooking classes and demonstration cookery events in and around Cincinnati.
