BEHIND THE JACKET

I started out cooking at home at the age of 12 and was always looking for new twists on different recipes that were passed down from my grandparents.  I always felt good about cooking but I could not quite put my finger on why I loved cooking so much.  I was good at math and science, so my focus began turning towards computer technology.  I liked computers and began pursuing that career path.  Throughout the years I was still working on computers but I could not shake the desire to produce great food for others to enjoy.  While at my IT help desk jobs, I could not resist researching recipes and cooking methods.  I then decided to go back to school to achieve my culinary arts degree.  I received my Associate's Degree from IVY Tech in Indianapolis, IN.

While in school, I knew that I did not want to open a restaurant for various reasons.  I loved cooking but wanted to do it on a more personal level.  One of my instructors suggested catering and private chef work.  I thought about it and decided that was the direction to go and EJ3's Taste of Elegance Catering was born!!!  I love food and I love people enjoying my food.

Love + Food = EJ3's Taste of Elegance
