"I have been ordering stuffed chicken breast in restaurants for years and have been playing with ingredients to find the right mix. The layering of flavors in the stuffing works perfect together and keep the breast moist and tender."

<p>I was born in Southern Arizona with a taste for spice. Keeping kosher in Arizona was a challenge, so I had to eat at home a lot which meant I needed to experiment to have a variety of food available. I moved to Israel and my pallet has grown and cooking has blossomed. <br /> <br />I cook for the fun of it and rarely use a recipe as more than a base. I love to experiment and try new techniques and ideas.</p>
