Greetings!!!

Quite a few things are happening within this next month! I'm catering an intimate pre-wedding dinner for 50. We're gearing up for a move. I'm hot and heavy working on developing my cookbook. And... one of the most important things is that I'm back talking with you guys again.

Thanks for your patience, understanding and well-wishes. It means a lot.

We've got a bunch of articles to cover in this issue.
Now let's talk food and ways to boost your Personal Chef business!

----------------------------
FOOD TIPS:
----------------------------

Do your own research by trying a new dish or way of utilizing an ingredient in your cooking.

Did you know that you get a different flavor from your herbs and spices when you grind them in a mortar and pestle as opposed to a food processor or electric coffee grinder?
It's true!

So for a more authentic and broader flavor profile try using a mortar and pestle to completely release the flavors and nuances of your seasonings.
