Irene has a flair for developing crave-worthy recipes that not only celebrate her heritage but also her farm-to-table advocacy.  Her skill behind the camera is equally as impressive.   With her own signature style, she makes each dish look mouth-wateringly delicious. Irene is simply a pleasure to work with.  She meets all deadlines with ease, is extremely responsive to any question and is always a cheerful call away to discuss recipe ideas.
