During that time, she was involved with menu planning, food costing, training, recipe development and overall kitchen management.

Currently, she teaches cooking classes at Draeger’s Markets, Whole Foods in San Mateo and Los Altos, and Real Food Company in San Francisco. She writes a blog on family cooking,The Family Chef (with an emphasis on gluten-free foods), a gluten-free article for examiner.com, and general articles for various newspapers and newsletters.
