Who Am I & Why Follow This Blog?

Hi, I’m Manfred Schaefer—a Navy-trained cook turned restaurant industry veteran with over 20 years of experience in management. My passion for food started back in high school, where I first discovered the magic of cooking, and it has only grown stronger over the years.

This blog is my way of sharing that passion with you. Whether you’re cooking for a special occasion or simply looking to elevate your everyday meals, I’m here to help you find joy in the kitchen.

Thanks,
