About the Chef...that's me. |
Do you want to cook or play with your kids? |
My name is Laura Hoover and I am passionate about food. I have a deep love for cooking that has thrived since childhood. After 10 years of reading cookbooks for entertainment and doing the family cooking, I attended a Culinary Arts program at Warren Tech where my skills were refined. My career path has always been tied to the food industry, with significant experience catering, making wedding cakes, cooking, and serving. I was head chef and food service manager for a non-profit backcountry program as well as management of the kitchen for a large scale guiding and outfitting company. Most significant, however, in my journey with food was living and working on an organic farm in Argentina this previous year. I lived in a community of people who lived 100% off the land, eating seasonally, sustainably, simply, and nutritiously. This fueled my desire to cook environmentally consciously while creating healthy, simple delicacies. I believe that eating consciously can and will have a dramatic effect on, not only the community we live in but your overall physical and emotional wellness. |
