 Chef Todd MohrBefore I became Chef Todd Mohr, I was Todd Mohr - a guy who liked to cook. A lot of people, including me, even thought I was a pretty good cook. For starters, I had my five meals, well, recipes, I suppose, that I could make well. Being a creative person, I also used some of the techniques from my tried and true recipes to experiment a bit with new dishes. Some were good and some not so good, and I usually never knew what the difference was. Through a series of events, I decided to change careers in 1996 and pursue my passion for cooking, so I enrolled in Baltimore International Culinary College. 18 months later, I emerged: Chef Todd Mohr. The greatest thing I learned in culinary school was the how and the why that had been missing from my cooking all those years. My recipes only gave me the what - which left so much out! The greatest thing I gained in the years after culinary school, was the practical experience from working in kitchens and experimenting at home. Being observant, I learned even more hows and whys in addition to whats along my culinary journey. This experience and experimentation, more than anything else, is what turned Todd Mohr into Chef Todd Mohr The specific details of the last 10 years are not that important, but my experience includes kitchen experience - all the way up to Executive Chef, as well as college teaching experience, starting and operating a successful catering company and then finally, the culmination of all of my passion: opening The Cooking School in Cary NC in 2007. It was at The Cooking School that I developed and honed the cooking program that has now taught hundreds of people to cook - something that had eluded them until they attended my classes. From The Cooking School (and one of my past careers as professional radio DJ), came Cooking Coarse, my daily video blog that quickly gained a loyal You Tube following due to the uniqueness of the instruction offered. It was through feedback received from Cooking Coarse viewers that I decided to launch this website and provide this information to the world.Interests and Hobbies: I spend a lot of time cooking in my career, but it is still one of my favorite hobbies. There is nothing like a nice evening at home enjoying a meal that I prepared - with my wife. I also enjoy entertaining for friends at home with great meals. When I am not cooking, you can find me swimming and boxing to stay in shape. I am an avid reader of cookbooks, food articles, and books about entrepreneurship and self-improvement. My wife and I love to travel, exploring new foods and wine along the way. Soon I hope to incorporate these experiences into my writings and share this information with the world as well. Cooking on vacation is truly a wonderful and rewarding experience. It is a great chance to take your time, try new ingredients and really enjoy cooking! |
