carliss pond

If I cannot test recipes myself, the even better way is to have Carliss Pond test them! Her vast knowledge of foods and her expectation about how ingredients will respond to cooking methods cuts problem-solving time greatly. She instills peace of mind, and her sense of humor is contagious in the midst of impossible deadlines. She is truly ready for any challenge.

When I decided to update my restaurant's Tapas menu, I wanted to work with someone who would tackle the project with ease. Carliss Pond and I worked together to create and test new dishes and the process was smooth and quick. And the new menu is a huge success!

Only rave reviews from parents when Carliss Pond introduced their children to "The Art of Food & Manners"! After hands-on cooking classes, the children were excited about setting the table, sharing what they prepared, and applying appropriate table manners.
