I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the newest members to my Food Studio family, Erika and Ellen.
With Ellen’s organization skills and Erika’s energy, along with their passion for good food and nourishment, we make a thriving team. Their strengths and talents compliment each other and are a perfect fit for the Food Studio and for me.
Most importantly, we are all dedicated to being a part of something much bigger than ourselves.
Not only do we have the best time eating good food, creating new ideas, harvesting herbs and taking delicious pictures, but also we are all on a mission to nourish your life!
I can’t wait for you to get to know them personally the next time you visit the Studio. In the meantime, here is a little introduction.
I am proud to call these gals my teammates, but most of all my friends!
