Chef Courtney Contos
Raised by restaurateurs in Chicago, now currently based in Vermont. Chef Contos is on a mission to bring back the joy of home cooking. But beyond cooking classes she is also a big proponent of kitchen fundamentals and vegetable gardening.  

"Only the freshest and healthiest ingredients inspire the meals I prepare. Whenever possible I cook seasonally, buy from local farms and source out organic products, because the quality and taste of these foods is much higher than the "grocery-store" alternatives. The time and effort spent in seeking out the best sources for ingredients pays off in a beautiful meal. For over sixteen years I have been writing about, teaching, growing, sourcing and preparing food. Have fun exploring the recipes and please contact me if you have any culinary questions."
