Memorable Quote 2: I love the culinary journey in my life.
Author Comment / Biography:
My name is Chris Rawstern and I have been on a cooking and baking journey for 42 years. Many people have asked what A Harmony of Flavors means. Have you ever had a meal where the visual presentation was stunning, the smells were incredible, the taste was so remarkable that you ate slowly savoring every bite, wishing the experience would never end? Then you have experienced what a truly harmonious meal can be like.
My ethnic background is Slovakian on my mother's side and Yugoslavian on my father's side. All my grandparents came from Europe to the United States to make a better life for themselves and their families. My ethnic cooking influences began at the cradle!
I began my cooking career in Guatemala, in 1970. I moved there as a naive 20-year-old newlywed, and set out to learn everything I could about how to cook in a foreign land, which was complicated by the fact that I could not speak or read the language.
I am a Gourmet cook, love wine and have a 600 bottle cellar, write articles and cookbooks and have a passion to teach and share my love for food. Join me on my journey to explore diverse culinary experiences and hopefully to start you on a journey of collecting favored recipes of your own.
