ABOUT TOYA BOUDY

My culinary career started when a little girl would sit on the countertop and watch her mother cook dinner.  I started cooking earlier than most and at a young age I was making breakfast and branched out to more complicated meals as time went along.  It wasn’t until later on in life that I realized cooking is not just about the flavors, the ingredients, or even the food.  For me, it’s about the love that I put inside my dishes for my family and friends.
