Chef Johnnie

about me

I graduated culinary school in April of 2005 in Fort Worth Texas. I've been a pharmacy technician for 25 years, but have always loved cooking. I also enjoy singing with my local chapter of the barbershop harmony society. I teach pharmacy technicians at one of the local colleges, and have used many recipes from this site for our compounding class.

Favorite Foods:

My favorite foods are Chinese, (as far as cooking chinese, I leave that to the professionals!) mexican, and southwestern. Being from Texas I have specialized in BBQ, but I'm wanting to expand more to southwestern, and Caribbean. I especially like "jerk" chicken and pork. I own my own catering business called "Jon Appetit" and do that on the side whenever I can. I guess my favorite ingredient is cilantro. I always get kidded by friends and family, because I hate parsley, and will always substitute cilantro for parsley. My favorite chef, Alton Brown, says you can't do that, but I've never had a problem with it. Do what you like!
