Great Lakes Culinary Institute

As I was finishing up my last semester at the Great Lakes Culinary Institute in the spring of 2018 the idea to create recipes and share them sounded like a dream job to me.  The title – From Michigan To The Table – was dreamed up on my long rides home from school. 

A year later www.frommichigantothetable.com was born in 2019!
