Hi all! I am happy to have found eG, and I am excited to engage my curiosity and discuss all things food. I'm new in the pro kitchen, but my explorations are proceeded by a lifetime of cooking adventures dishes or family and friends...I simply outgrew what I could do at home and took the next step, an apprenticeship on Capitol Hill in DC. my skills burst forward, from there and my curiosity continues to grow. Friends advised me that eG is another opportunity for exposure to the I-mind of interested, engaged, and intellectual thought stream of kitchen professionals and enthusiasts, so I had to jump in. I am glad to have found this source and will do my best to keep up with the group.
My influences are J.Kenji Lopez-Alt, David Chang, Gabrielle Hamilton, Grant Achatz, Deborah Madison, Marcella Hazan, Douglas Alexander, Michael Ruhlman, Samin Nosrat, Stella Parks, and Julia Child.
Have a fantastic day in the kitchen,
Kate "KJ" Phillips
