Carol is a personal chef with 22 years of experience in cooking food people want to eat. She is also a former newspaper food columnist and the proud mom of a rescue kitty named Jade. On her website, visitors will discover easy, step-by-step gourmet recipes that have been tested by a chef for the modern home cook. From A Chef's Kitchen was launched in 2014 following an accident in a personal chef client's kitchen that left Carol with a fractured kneecap and six weeks of recuperation time.
By that point, Carol's passion for food photography had already captivated her. In addition to her chef business, she contributed to a biweekly food column for The Commercial Appeal, Memphis' daily newspaper, which enjoyed a successful seven-year run. Titled "Dinner for Two," she authored recipes and provided detailed instructions on how to successfully prepare each dish, accompanied by her own photographs. The positive reception and growing interest in her culinary creations paved the way for the birth of From A Chef's Kitchen.
Here, Carol shares easy, creative, chef-inspired gourmet recipes from her kitchen for the home cook. Her recipes are inspired by the seasons and the ingredients already stocked in her pantry, freezer, or refrigerator, mirroring the way most people begin a home-cooked meal. Visitors to her website will learn how to transform ordinary canned baked beans into rave-worthy dishes or create a Beef Braciole that even Marie Barone from "Everybody Loves Raymond" would love. She includes a wealth of tips and information to assist readers in successfully crafting each dish.
