The chef behind the plate
Hi, I'm Minnie, the chef behind MinnieCooks. [Confirm Minnie's real story: how she started cooking, any training, and what drives her food. Keep it warm and personal; this is the heart of the site.]
Every plate that leaves my kitchen is cooked from scratch and finished by hand, whether it's a quiet dinner for two or a celebration for a hundred.
