Welcome to my kitchen! I'm Chef Donna and I'm here to teach you great recipes and home cooking skills so you can become a better cook.

Cooking can be intimidating, especially if you're just beginning. I'll help you learn knife skills and how to bake, sauté, roast and poach, as well as sauce making, protein cooking, pasta and more.

I'm a prolific gardener and food preserver, so those skills will be highlighted, too.

I have learned through my extensive cooking experience as well as in my formal education, that food doesn’t need to be fancy or trendy or include exotic ingredients in order to be satisfying. Good food needs to be properly prepared and well seasoned. Learning how to accomplish both of these will satisfy your palate as well as your wallet - and pay respect to your hard-earned money and time. Additionally, making those around your dinner table (even if it's just you) very happy!
