Chef Marian

Chef Marian retired as a success in Business in 1988, putting (as CEO & Founder) of one of the nationwide brands she created, on the Cover of Inc. Magazine. She was nominated for the Ernest & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award three years in a row. Now, it was time to follow her passion.

As she made her way across France from Reims (Champagne) to Nuit St. George to Pauillac and Bordeaux, she enjoyed the tasting rooms, cooked in restaurant kitchens learning chef skills and took cooking classes at well known restaurants. On a three-year trip around the world she cooked in kitchens in Bordeaux, Pauillac, Lucca, Firenze, Melbourne, and Bangkok.

Chef Marian hosted a cooking webcast for many years teaching people how to cook and pair wine in Los Angeles, now does both filmed interview and cooking shows and is eager to continue that tradition online enjoying the things she creates best: cooking classes & wine dinners at both peoples’ homes and in restaurants. Chef Marian is blogging at http://ChefMarian.com and spends a lot of time researching questions asked during her normal work week, and then blogs about them educating both herself and you in a fun and informative way. She has worked with Chefs, creating ‘tasting’ members for her groups San Diego Foodies and Euro Lovers and Friends with over 2,000 members on Meetup.
