Ms. Taco:
Hi Tiny Chefs! My name is Ms. Tara (aka Ms. Taco). I joined the Tiny Chefs family in 2016 as a chef instructor. My love for working with children, cooking, and background in nutrition made me the perfect fit for the team. I have a degree in music theater from Shenandoah Conservatory, so my upbeat and energetic personality is perfect to connect with our aspiring chefs! I have a 1-year old daughter and an adorable puppy named, Harper – who both enjoy sneaking some of mommy’s yummy food! Together with my daughter and I, love to cook and bake from scratch! When in my kitchen at home, I cook all my family meals from scratch, and my whole family’s favorite dish is roasted sweet potatoes!
When asked what makes me love teaching so much, I expressed, “my culinary journey started by learning from my mother’s extensive skills in the kitchen, and those experiences were always so important to me. I want to be able to share that same experience with my own child and my students too. These lessons go beyond just eating food. They are skills to last a lifetime, it’s a bonding experience, it’s a lesson in culture, and it’s shaping a good relationship with food. I want the honor of giving that experience to young aspiring chefs.
So Tiny Chefs, I cannot wait to dip into these recipes with you! Let’s get started!
