Today's guest prepared appetizers for Julia Child during his tenure at the exclusive ladies club in West Bloomfield, Michigan. Yes friends, you read that right!

I am happy to welcome Chef Dennis Sturtz, Culinary Artist & Founder of You Can Cuisine.  In today's episode Chef & I will be chatting it up about both cooking and gardening... I mean, don't they just go together anyway?

A bit about Chef Dennis...
Chef Dennis started sharing a kitchen with his Mom and two Polish grandmothers when he was about five years old. His ethnic background has supplied him the canvas on which he has trained his palate. 

After working in several different industries, including automotive foundry and factory work, he decided to let go of the money and security to follow instead his passion for cooking and sharing his culinary experience. It was a scary proposition. He already had a wife and child and leaving a $13/hr job for entry level positions in the food industry that paid less than $3 an hour didn’t seem a wise or responsible choice.

He followed his passion anyway, graduating with a degree in Applied Food Science from Macomb Community College’s Culinary Department. Chef Dennis has been a professional chef over 40 years now. He has worked in many venues in the restaurant business. From fast food to 4 star gourmet, owner and chef, and as a founding Chef Instructor at the Baker Culinary Institute of Michigan (CIM) in Port Huron, Michigan.

He currently offers private food business consultation and catering and home-cook coaching, along with fun cooking classes focused M on saving time and money.

Chef Dennis is fond of reminding everyone to: “Savor the food you eat.”

Hello to you listening in Whitefish, Montana!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

Julia Child charmed the icing right off my cake with her singular voice and culinary life story. Julia said, “Every woman should have a blowtorch.” I imagine she meant a kitchen blowtorch for caramelizing sugar, blistering peppers or melting cheese.

Julia came to mind some years ago when I was working as a shepherd at Juniper Moon Fiber Farm. One summer day it fell to me to clean out the elevated chicken coop. With my bandit-style kerchief in place I scrubbed the floors and walls with a wire brush before flooding the coop with a hose to wash out all that dust and debris. Now, how to get it dry? Blowtorch!

We happened to have a professional grade propane blow torch on the farm. I fired it up, aimed it inside the coop, and using a sweeping back and forth motion it was soon dry as a bone. What I remember is the sense of accomplishment I had.

Story Prompt: Imagine you got your hands on your very own blowtorch? What ruckus might you accomplish, metaphorically speaking, of course? Write that story!

Practical Tip: The magic of stories is also in the sharing. If you wish share your story with someone or something.   All that matters is you have a story.

You’re invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you’ll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!
