Chef Shelley Pogue: I am from Dallas, Texas and I moved to Austin, Texas in 2005 to attend Culinary School. I attended The Texas Culinary Academy 2005-2007 and graduated with an Associates of Applied Sciences. The program I attended is affiliated with The Le Cordon Bleu out of Paris, France. I learned a great deal cooking with my Gramdma Gracie in her kitchen. After many years of contemplating going to Culinary School I decided to make a change at the early age of 37. I learned you are not to old to make a life changing decision. I believe I was more receptive to learning the material and technique because it meant I was able to achieve a goal I had always wanted to. Now I want to be able to share some of the recipes I have created, and using on a daily basis. I was the Executive Chef at The Hills Fitness Center in Austin, Texas. I left after being the Executive Chef there for 1 year. I am currently the Executive Research and Development Chef for Vertical Sales and Marketing, San Ramon, CA. I am also a personal chef and caterer in Austin, Texas, and working on developing a recipe and cook book.......... "Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all." ~Harriet Van Horne
