Bio
Angela Keyser
Bev is a very knowledgeable woman with a warm and friendly personality. She's equally passionate about food and educating those around her. Bev's diverse experiences and extensive background in food would be of value to anyone looking for a sound expert in the culinary arena.
Bryan Smith
I probobly have too little space to say all the good things there are to say about Bev. She is professional, helpful, and knows the culinary industry backwards and forwards. Bev was a great sounding board for ideas both culinary and management related. That being said, what I like most about Bev is that she is real and honest. I never had to try to figure out what she meant when I asked for her opinion. I really hope to get to work with Bev again someday.

Bev is a very creative and passionate chef. She has mastered the best quality and combination of ingredients for a great feast! Her recipes are very tasty, gratifying to the eye and most importantly very healthy.
