After graduating from San Francisco State University State University in 1967 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, a Lifetime Teaching Credential, and a double major in Anthropology and Education, Chef Sharon was hired as a 1st grade teacher at Bryant School in San Francisco.
Chef Sharon’s classroom teaching experience has taught her to be insightful and innovative with her approach to cooking with kids. She began teaching simple cooking lessons to incorporate math, science, geography, and history. When she and her husband decided to start a family, Sharon left the world of teaching in a formal setting and entered into the most important job in the world: motherhood. Four children later, scouts, soccer, volleyball, ballet, theater, cooking, music lessons, and PTA…involvement was the key to success.
15 years ago, Sharon went back into the classroom on a half time basis, working at Almond Elementary School in Los Altos where she taught 2nd grade. She had a partner who was open to her philosophy of innovation so cooking became a once a week lesson that involved all the modalities. The children were ecstatic, counting the days until the next week's cooking lesson. Parents were blown away with the eagerness to show independence, self-assurance, and efficiency in the kitchen. A cookbook was compiled with classroom and child based recipes. Sharon has left the elementary classroom to open
children’s culinary Creations because the desire from parents
to do more in the cooking realm. To make a long story short, Children's Culinary Creations was born out of the desire from parents to do more in the cooking realm with their children.
