​Vanessa’s deep interest and love of food started many years ago as a young adult, which at first was just something she did strictly as a hobby.

 She eventually discovered and was truly inspired reading cookbooks by legendary,  African American female chefs, such as Leah Chase and Edna Lewis known for their tasty southern recipes.

She is a graduate of the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts and enjoys teaching others the joy of cooking. Her earlier days of teaching were at adult learning centers in Massachusetts. 

Her culinary style of cooking is diverse and she loves incorporating different international flavors when creating recipes, which gives her endless ideas of making delicious food.
​
 Currently, she demonstrates cooking demos to the general public, which have included the Boston Public Market and in addition, published her first online cooking course called "Cooking with Spices" on Udemy.com.


Chef Vanessa believes Food Tours Worcester, will be another great way to bring your family and friends together to enjoy tastings from different regions from around the world, in addition to learning about their culture and  restaurant history.
 
 Your tour guide is a long time, local resident of Worcester and look forward to sharing with you her culinary experience of Worcester's vibrant restaurant scene.
