Hey y’all! I’m the author and editor of the CC network. I’m a wife, mother, and professionally trained chef, currently living in the Charleston metro area of South Carolina. My husband and I are from the Carolinas and know how special this region is. Travelers at heart, we’ve tried dishes across the country. We are passionate about this special nook of America we are from and it’s scrumptious cuisine. The seafood, meats, variety of nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables, crafted batches of micro-brewed beers, fruity liquors and wines, and even tea of the Carolinas are the finest America has to offer.
I have had a passion for good food, nutrition and cooking since my days as a teen in rural North Carolina. Growing up in an agriculture-driven county, gardens and produce stands are common sites. My dad made sure the soil was tilled and rows were plowed to ready the garden for another season of producing healthy crops each year. I graduated NCSU in Food Processing and Distribution and J&WU with a Culinary Arts AAS while cooking in fine dining restaurants, hotels, and country clubs along Charleston historic peninsula.
