Q&A with Bauman College
- What is your name?
- Bauman College
- What was your very first cooking experience?
- Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookie mix after school at age 8, there was no turning back.
- Do you ever make mistakes cooking?
- Burning myself, mostly hands on hot handles and my forearms pulling sheets out of the oven.
- Who taught you how to cook?
- Myself, my grandmother's maid, Baking with Julia on PBS, Chef Pete List of Beatrice and Woodsley in Denver and the fine instructors at Johnson and Wales University and Bauman College.
- Why do you like to plan and make meals?
- The creativity, the shopping, tasting, and the fleeting momentary existence of the food, how it starts as a bunch of ingredients, turns into something beautiful and then disappears.
- What advice do you have for kids 10 to 14 to learn to cook?
- Have Fun, Relax, and Listen to your mentors. Cooking is lots of fun when you stay safe and learn from what you are doing. It’s a skill that is useful your entire life, and if every time you cook you can learn something the food will only get better and better.
- Why do you like zisboombah?
- The name, the layout, the cool colors, and most of all how it involves kids in decision-making and exposes everyone to healthy foods.
- What is your favorite food?
- Watermelon!
- How long have you been a chef?
- Going on 5 years, and I have loved almost every minute of it. I became inspired when I realized how much I love to cook, and how poorly most people handle themselves in the kitchen.
- Where do you work now?
- Bauman College
- What does your day consist of?
- I leave home around 7:30, go shopping, head into work around nine, organize ingredients, make tea, prepare a snack for the students, start the laundry, the list goes on and on, and on, but it's always in motion and never the same.
- What thought process do you use when making a meal?
- I think about who I am making it for, their nutritional needs, and then how to make my food look good and taste great.
