Sommer Collier’s Culinary Training
Sommer first learned to cook with her mother when she was a little girl. Most of her positive childhood memories involve standing on a stool at the kitchen counter.
“My mom was a fabulous instinctual cook, who focused on comfort foods that would feed a crowd on a budget. Yet she also found a way to introduce us to new and exciting foods.”
Sommer’s cooking skills have been nurtured through decades of hands-on experience in the kitchen, as well as formal culinary training and continuing educational intensive workshops in:
- Asheville, North Carolina
- Paris, France
- Bologna, Italy
- Kraków, Poland
- Bangkok, Thailand, and Chiang Mai, Thailand
- Hôi An, Vietnam
These culinary experiences prepared her for a career as a Cooking Instructor, both in small groups and online, via cooking tutorials, easy recipes with detailed instructions, and videos!
