​​CRISPIN'S

I'm definitely not going to give a long story on how hard it was growing up. However, I am going to tell you that food is a huge love of mine and it played a major part in all of my childhood memories. 
​

Crispin is actually the name of my grandfather on my Dad's side, who was an Artiste. I never got the opportunity to meet him as he passed before I was born, but from the many stories I've heard, it was always his dream to have something of his own. My grandmother is also one of the strongest women I have ever met and she has been an advocate for a member of her family to get into this cooking business.

​

All I have ever known is the sounds of pots and pans and divine scents coming from them along with loud music to set the atmosphere.  I remember my grandmother used to love having celebrations at home and there would be a countless number of delicacies prepared. She does not believe in "mooching" on food which simply means there will be no light plates. It may all seem excessive now but she believed no one should leave still feeling even slightly hungry.

 

Home is family and family is love and the only way I can share any of that is by sharing what I've learned with others.
