Chef Conni's love of food and cooking started when she was a child. Spending many hours in her Grandmother's kitchen, cooking became second nature. Saturday mornings were spent looking through her mothers one cookbook then baking cookies, cakes, or breads. Around the age of 12 Conni and her sister took over daily dinner preparation, this was one chore they did not mind doing. Conni's idea of a fun after school activity was spending time at the stove.

Chef Conni is an honors graduate of the culinary program from The Art Institute of Seattle. While in school she worked at Rover's, a fine dinning restaurant in the Madison Park district of Seattle.

Chef Conni started The Charmed Radish because she enjoys sharing her knowledge and passion of food by making well-prepared, delicious meals. Additionally, she wants to give her clients the time to do the things they love and get more enjoyment out of their busy lives.
