Chef Selena on cooking...                 

"Very few things give me more pleasure than watching others enjoy a meal I've prepared for them. I was born into the rich flavors of the old South and the soulful dishes of the Midwest where eating is a religion unto itself.

     My earliest memories are of me trying the 'help' my mother as she prepared the family dinner. I was hustled out of the way many times, but I did learn to roast a mean chicken and bake an awesome cheesecake. Later, I learned to 'keep the flavor and lose the fat' in some of my favorite family recipes.

     In an attempt to fully exploit the aroma of the multinational culture, I have expanded my culinary ventures to include many international dishes.  To this day, a good hot meal still says,

"Relax... you're home."
