About Chef Tom

As far back as I can remember I have always enjoyed cooking. As a child, my grandmother would teach me how to recreate many of our families famous recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. It was not until my high school years that I realized cooking could be my future. I got a summer job as a dishwasher at a popular restaurant in St. Augustine, Florida. My intense work ethic allowed me to be promoted quickly. Within months I was able to work in all parts of the kitchen. I enjoyed the hard work and the gratification I received from all the happy customers.

Two years later I moved to NY and was hired to be head chef at a local Italian restaurant. At the same time, I was preparing for college and was putting much thought into my future. I decided to study cooking and restaurant management and I received my degree in restaurant management. To this day, it doesn't matter if I'm cooking for a packed restaurant or my family and friends at home, I'm always happy when I'm in the kitchen!

I look forward to sharing some of my favorite recipes and cooking tips!

Low Fat Garden Vegetable Wraps

Low Fat Recipe

Summer is almost over, but there is plenty of time to enjoy the fresh flavors from the earths harvests ! The title says low fat, but that does not mean low flavor. This is a simple recipe that goes great for lunch or dinner. Feel free to experiment by adding some fresh vegetables from your home garden.

1 small zucchini, sliced
1 small sweet red pepper, chopped
1/4 cup canned black beans (rinsed & drained)
1/4 cup salsa
1/4 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
4 burrito size whole-wheat flour tortillas

Place zucchini, pepper and 2 tablespoons of water in a large non-stick skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until slightly tender, about 4 minutes.
Stir in beans and salsa; heat through, about 2 minutes.
Spoon 1/2 cup of the mixture onto each tortilla and serve each with 1 tablespoon of cheese. Fold the ends of the tortilla over, roll and serve.

Serves 4
