We have been together going on 7 years in January of 2017 - and have been married since June of 2015!
Currently living in Virginia, USA with our furbabies, a sweet puppy named July and her partner in crime, a kitty named Wa.
We both have children, all of which are young adults and make us proud everyday.
We are Buddhists, minimalists, gardeners, life-loving & have a love of pretty food and the creation of.
(both for different reasons)..
--About Jen--
Jen has a long history of preparing beautiful food as a profession.
She started as an army cook in the service at the age of 17 by chance.
She served her passion of pretty food on many tables in various settings, including a beautiful resort in OR for 21 years.
Today she has the title of Director of Food & Beverage where she works hard to improve the quality of life of those she is responsible for.
She is passionate each resident gets the best experience every meal, and is a fountain of knowledge to those who have the opportunity to learn from her.
--About sylvie--
sylvie's experience with food is altogether different.
Diagnosed as bulimic at the age of 9, food has always been a sore spot in her life.
Altering between bulimia and binge eating, her weight has fluctuated in the extremes.
Food became the enemy, always an object of obsession between binges and purges.
In 2011, she began to develop a love of healthy, pretty and colorful food.
Today, having the passion for cooking in the kitchen helps heal and feel food is not the enemy.
Healing is happening on the inside, as well as the outside.
