Author: Lanie Fioretti

My name is Lanie Fioretti and although I am not a classically trained chef or a degreed nutritionist, I have been studying food and nutrition voraciously since the early seventies.

Come enjoy Texas Culinary Cuisine by Chef Tammie Brown at the Culinary Arts Center this week. Meals are served four days a week, Tuesday through Friday, from 11 a.m….
