Hi eGullet folks....
My name is Jennifer, and I have been around food for my whole life. My grandfather owned a bar (noted for his turtle soup) and I am former food service professional (waiter in Ohio, Chicago and Boston), a former Manager at Williams Sonoma and a former Accounting Manager/caterwaiter/caterchef for a highly regarded Boston caterer. I have since moved on to a new profession (IT) but still love to cook. I also love to collect (for use, not just for show) really high quality and/or vintage cookware/appliances (including the original Mauviel 7 ply stainless cookware, an Osterizer Beehive, and a couple of Art Deco vintage toasters).
Look forward to meeting everyone and learning from this talented group.
Techie
