Cooking with Chef Mary: Oct 27, 2009

What is this Blog about?

Greetings! My name is Mary and I love to cook. I am an executive chef and Nutritionist with a tremendous passion for all things edible.

I call this blog my Chef Diaries. I experience the culinary world on a daily basis, and want to share these experiences with my friends and colleagues. Why? Good food is heavenly but you don’t have to be a trained chef to enjoy it. I truly believe there’s a gourmet inside each of us.

I’m currently working on a book and hosting You Tube webisodes filled with “Ask Chef Mary” cooking tips. I encourage you to visit as often as you can and engage in a dialogue with me about life in the kitchen. I can’t wait to hear from you. We’re going to learn so much together.

After exploring my blog, please visit my other sites, including The Washington Times Communities column-
Hail Mary Food of Grace
You Tube Channel ChefMPM
and the Ask Mary Food Forum at:

Thanks for viewing,
Mary

Don Miguel Ruiz

Have great hopes and dare to go all out for them. Have great dreams and dare to live them. Have tremendous expectations and believe in them.
Norman Vincent Peale

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
