Hi. I am Jane. I have had a passion for cooking and eating healthy food for most of my life. My professional training includes a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Culinary Arts from Bastyr University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Home Economics and Secondary Education from Western Washington University. As a lifelong teacher of all ages, my focus is teaching people how to cook simple meals for their families. My belief is anyone, even children, can learn to prepare healthy, inexpensive, delicious meals for themselves and those they care for. I absolutely love to help unravel the mystery of bread making, combine whatever produce is on hand to prepare a delicious soup or stew, or create something new with whomever is interested in participating. As a former preschool teacher, I still enjoy playing in the kitchen with children. I am also an ovarian cancer survivor, and a team leader and fund raiser for a local organization funding ovarian cancer research. My home is in Lake Forest Park, Wa. where I live with my husband, Mark, and our cat, Gilbert. When not teaching, I like to garden, hike, kayak, and cook for friends and family.
