Welcome to Just a Pinch!

Hello All,

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Theresa, I am a 23 year old from New Jersey who is about to set out in search of a job in the Culinary world. I was raised in an Italian household from a fortunate family who did not really understand cooking as a job, they simply thought of it as a hobby. My family looks at me as I walk around in my dresses and high heels and laughs at the thought of me sweating it out in a kitchen. I was determined to prove them wrong.

I graduated from Villanova University in '11 with a Communication degree and then immediately started culinary school afterwards. I loved every single minute of Culinary School including all the cuts, burns and criticisms I got. After six intense months at the French Culinary Institute I finally graduated in February '12.

A lot of people hear what its like to be in Culinary School and they may think they know what its like to be in a kitchen, I definitely thought I did and boy was I wrong. This blog will give you a some insight into my time in professional kitchens, my recipes and my life as a foodie.
