Hobby turned into passion …
I’m David Russell
I began watching Julia Child when I was in high school, before I ever boiled an egg. (Males did not cook in our house.)
When I got to college I started cooking a bit, and then the whole food revolution started, in the 70s (remember Alice Waters?) I got hooked.
I found an apartment with a kitchen and never looked back. My first French restaurant, Chez Vernon, in Oklahoma City, then a honeymoon in France, then gradually easing into cooking for my little family.
And now in retirement, it’s a passion.
