A lifelong horsewoman and fox hunter, Lisa has been playing in the kitchen since she could reach the counter and get in her mom’s way. Growing up, she eagerly awaited the monthly arrival of Gourmet magazine, and much experimentation ensued with each issue. Her sister was a close collaborator in those endeavors. Lisa loves to plan for the next dinner party, and Thanksgiving is her most favorite day of the year.
Every Wednesday, Lisa teams up with three brilliant women at the local Salvation Army Community Center, where they produce up to 120 hot lunches for those in need. Creativity is the name of the game, and they all look forward to cooking hearty and healthy meals from the abundant food donations. They take turns being head chefs, and after every Wednesday service, they look forward to the next week.
Famously unfettered in the kitchen, Lisa admits that being a Leite’s Tester has brought new discipline to her cooking and made her even more adventurous. Lisa was hooked on Leite’s Culinaria when she took her first bite of David’s Ham and Cheddar Biscuits. Since then, her list of favorites has grown to include Beef Stew with Red Wine, and Cranberry Upside-Down Cake for an exceptionally beautiful dinner party dessert. She lives in upstate New York with horses, cats, and a husband.
