The No Recipe Cookbook: A Beginner's Guide to the Art of Cooking
Susan Crowther is a Vermont transplant, from Chicago, Illinois. Her interest in culinary art began at the age of 3, when she began playing Mish Mash—an improvisational game of mixing food ingredients together and hoping for something edible. This interest grew into a career, including graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, working the industry, and eventually running her own catering business—Susie’s Menu. Susie's passions encompass cooking, writing, and health.  She has worn several hats:  cook, chef, caterer, nutritionist, massage therapist, health educator, college professor, and mom. Susie lives in Brattleboro, Vermont with her husband Mark, their two dogs, and the occasional son. Visit The No Recipe Cookbook: www.norecipecookbook.com.Roland G.
