There is nothing I enjoy more than a good farmers market. Actually that’s a lie. I enjoy cooking whatever I buy at a farmers market even more. So you must know how excited I was to be able to do a cooking demo at one. More specifically the Serenbe Farmers Market. I immediately knew what […]

What’s in a Name?….The Real Milk and Honey ATL
What’s in a name? A lot more than most people dare to acknowledge. Let’s take our own names into consideration. Our parents, most I hope, gave some serious thought to what they would name us. They looked at meanings, considered our elders, thought about what image they wanted to convey when our name was heard. […]
A Love Story…They Cook You Eat
Kevin and Brooke Stovall recently celebrated 3 years of marriage. To some not a big deal, for them a milestone achieved after a two year, long distance courtship. They were separated by more than 700 miles. How did they make it work? They would try to visit each other bi-monthly. During the times they couldn’t see each other, they […]
Practice What You Preach…It’s About Time.
How can I tell people they need to stop “trying” and do and I wasn’t doing the same. I was letting my need to get it just right stand in the way of all that I know I needed to accomplish. I created not one but two different series that I needed to bring to […]
August Recap…
I know we are in a whole new month, September. But I never got to share all that I did in the month of August. So here’s a recap of all I did. At the beginning of the month I got to visit a really great spot in the Dunwoody, GA area. It’s called Crafthall […]
Prosecco and Filet Mignon…At STK
Monday isn’t just National Prosecco Day, but it is also National Filet Mignon Day. How can you go wrong with a combination like that? The only thing that can make it better would be to enjoy it at STK Atlanta, Midtown’s sexiest steak and seafood house. Known for it’s high-energy atmosphere and its’ exceptional signature and seasonal […]
Kennesaw State University …Chef’s Table
I was honored to be able to take part in the Chef’s Table at Kennesaw State University’s Continuing Education Culinary Program. Yeah that’s a mouth full. It had taken me back 20+ years ago to when I was in my culinary program back in New York. There’s nothing better than being around that kind of excitement […]
I’m Not Judging You… A Taste of Conyers
May 5, 2018 . . . What a busy Saturday for The Chef In Pearls! I had so many things on my plate. I just prayed I would be able to pull it all off. I was chosen to be a judge for Taste of Conyers. How cool was that? Tré cool, if you ask […]
A Lesson In Pie…Crave Pie Studio
You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Lies I say. Pure unadulterated lies. I went to cooking school over 20 years ago and I am still learning things everyday. I learned a thing or two while at Crave Pie Studio with owner/baker Breana Carson. I feel that as long as you are open to learning there […]
Flavors of GA…White Oaks Pastures
I was introduced to White Oaks Pastures a few years ago. A friend asked me to make some finger foods with products from local gardens for a showing of “Food For Thought”. It was after the film, during a panel discussion, that I heard all about White Oaks Pastures. I learned about their sustainable farming […]
