Once I began teaching at Stonewall, I really began to explore my culinary interests. I hosted a beautiful brunch at Cellardoor Winery in Lincolnville and participated in a couple food and wine pairings at the winery.
I then competed in my first cooking competition in 2015 at the Cellardoor Smackdown and won people's choice! Fast forward to 2018 and I competed in the Boothbay Harbor Claw Down competition and won both Judge's and People's Choice first place for my Lobster Wonton! That qualified me to enter the 2018 Harvest on the Harbor Lobster Chef of the Year competition and I won People's Choice for my Lobster Scallion Crepes!
So while I miss the daily cooking as a B&B owner, I am at least able to fulfill some of my cooking desires by teaching, doing demos, competitions and sometimes cooking at my buyers' inns once they purchase. I love to stay in tune with the industry.
