Jill's culinary interests were sparked at an early age when she began helping
on her uncle's farm, picking berries and baking cookies to sell at the local
farmer's market. She didn't plan on becoming a chef, but counts her decision to
attend culinary school as one of her best moves. After moving to Baltimore, Jill
studied under the celebrated chef and restaurateur Spike Gjerde. She loves to
create imaginative sushi rolls and unique desserts, and the five ingredients she
always keeps on hand are semisweet chocolate, sushi rice, micro-herbs, Banyuls
vinegar and champagne. Her goal is to one day own a small resort that serves
amazing food and features rides in her hot-air balloon.
