Chef Patsyb

It all started in the burbs of the San Fernando Valley (Los Angeles) in the 1950’s...

In a kitchen with one cookbook and a 7-year-old girl who wanted something more interesting to eat than a piece of fruit for her after school snack. Patsy, the oldest girl of 6 kids, was encouraged by her busy mother who really didn’t cook or bake much to read her only cookbook and explore their kitchen cabinets for ingredients. This activity not only established a life long interest in food but gave her the opportunity to discover her talent and the confidence to pursue a career in the culinary arts.
