Wendi M.
Chef de Cuisine, El Dorado Hills
From the culinary academy to professional kitchen experience, Chef de Cuisine Wendi has been cooking for 22 years. Wendi likes to keep her skills sharp by competing in cooking competitions like the 1996 Culinary Olypmics in Berlin, Germany and cooking at home. One of her favorite ingredients? Onions! “They are the base of so many delicious dishes, I couldn’t imagine the dishes I like to make without them.” Her suggestion for home cooks? “Definitely keep a high quality, very sharp knife on hand,” which will help both with prep time and safety.
