Meet the Muses

Welcome to Muses in the Kitchen. We have a very unique food program here at MUSE school, producing organic, locally sourced lunches and snack for over 100 students a day. It is my hope that, through this blog, I will be able to share with you a glimpse inside our kitchen. Each week you will find recipes, photos, stories and more, but for today, I want to introduce myself and the incredible team makes this all possible.
