At a very early age she began cooking and quickly developed a love for seeing others take delight in her prepared meals. She soon began having yearly dinner parties for family and friends with as many as seventy guests.
But her cooking ventures didn’t stop with just family and friends; she would cook various dishes, cakes and pastries and bring them to work with her so that her coworkers could sample her tasty delights. At the urging of her coworkers she entered a cooking contest which was hosted by Bobby and Jamie Dean from the cooking channel. The response from the audience and other supporters after winning encouraged Rachel to write ‘Cooking from the Heart’. A how to cook book of southern meals made simple.
Rachel is a House manager at a homeless shelter of which she hosts yearly dinner banquets to raise monies for the homeless. She currently resides in Valdosta, Georgia.view less
