Hi all!
I have been catering for about 6 years. I never had formal training, although for 4 years I had a wonderful mentor. Looking forward to hearing from all of you

Hello PGR and welcome to Chef Talk. I'm sure you'll find other owner/caterers to interact with, as well as a whole load of other food-lovers. There's plenty to read and learn here, but also many opportunities to share the fun and frustration of the business.

Is there a culinary focus to your menus? Do you use local seafood and other ingredients in your offerings?

We hope to see you here often! Welcome--

Hello everyone and Good Morning! My name is Sherry and I am looking forward to meeting some new Culinary friends and chatting with you. I have been out of Culinary school for over 35 years and trying to keep up with todays cooking techniques and styles, as always. I have found that blending the old & new is very valueable. I love people who appreciate Culinary style foods. Here in KY I find that there are way too many fast food places. It is quite overwhelming to say in the least and I am sure that you agree. I know our insights together will benefit us all. Once again, I am looking forward to this experience. Have a great day, Sherry.

Hi Sherry and welcome to Chef Talk! Having experienced people like you in the community is very enriching to us all. We've had discussions in the past about the issue of fast food vs. fresh, regional/seasonal food, and the topic seems to be a popular one.

We hope you'll browse the forums, but don't miss the cooking articles, cookbook reviews, recipes and the new photo gallery! There's enough here to keep you coming back for a long time. I hope to see you participating in the discussions.

Enjoy!
